You are probably right, 6x8. Found it here http://stormprepare.com/Tarp.htm I hoped it's at least the one pictured above it on that shopping list..., still, you cannot make a raft out of a tent:



By the way, another wonder from the same russian guy, where instead of tarp he is using the polyethylene wrapping film.



2000' of that can be had for just $15, and provide a lot of interesting options, including quite a nice shelter:
