Each augment, according to the rules, requires one action to apply. If you did not apply them BEFORE the combat, each takes an unrelated action. Before combat, you can apply as many augments as your referee allows (there are no guidelines for how much time each takes). There is no stated limit to how many (magical) augments can be applied to each ability (and 6 isn't that many). We have also allowed certain 'always on' abilities to automatically augment (1/10 round down of the ability augments without needing an action - you can take an action to apply a higher augment - and these can exceed the official limit on mundane augments, for instance a Giant can apply both Large and Strong automatically).
