If she hasn't grown much, she's probably an adult and will still continue to grow but very slowly.

On that note, a 5'8'' snake should be perfectly comfy in the 4' cage. 6' cages are normally used for larger, breeding females.
i did a "pay to rescue" deal with her, i got her about 2 months ago.. she came to me with an RI and mites.. shes been on injected antibiotics for 2 weeks.. 2 more to go and is doing better, but has only eaten once for me because of her illness.. so she hasn't grown at all since i've had her. the people i got her from said shes about 5-6 years old, but they had only had her for 2 months before i took her.
if she does get larger will the 4' cage still work for her?
