I think you mean 6 awg and 8 awg. (Or #6 and #8 for old-school types.) 6/0 would be huge. Yes, it'd be fine to extend the #6 aluminum circuit with #8 copper, just be sure to use the proper connectors. I'd use split bolts, which are listed for aluminum and copper in combination. Be sure to properly insulate them - doing this properly requires three different kinds of tape and a little skill. Here's a great video:
