Is something like the Attached what you are after?

I used your measurements as much as possible but as @TheCADWhisperer said, your sides were twisted since you were coming from a octagon to a hexagon. I change the small sketch to a octagon to match. You also will have to add a fillet to the seams of the stitched surface, I used .188 radius, in order to make the conversion and flat pattern to work. Model is attached.

Accepted solution
You would add the fillets after the individual lofted surfaces are fully stitched together. I will not be available too look at your model for a few hours as i am away from my computer. You have to make sure you have successfully stitched ass individual lofted surfaces together before moving on. After stitching you should have one surface body.

Here is another example using your latest attempt (see Attached).

No trial and error.
I simply changed your octagon to construction - you could make it ANY size you want.
The key was making Lines 1 and 2 the same length as your lines.
After that - everything was driven by the size of the octagon.
Because all lines must be parallel - there was only one possible solution for the remaining 3 lines.
Now, if you didn't place Line 3 on the octagon - there are other possible solutions (longer to the left, shorter to the right in image below).
