I am the one (shape) made of two (shapes) that makes one (shape) of six and two (shapes) of five and two (shapes) of four plus one (Re:Bzzzzz) four more .

The last part is definitely the one that does not fit very cleanly at any time.

Hm.

You can safely leave the last part out & still correctly answer. Your reordering {I am the one (shape) made of two (shapes) that makes one (shape) of six and two (shapes) of five and two (shapes) of four ..} is on the right track.
Clue #4: (#3? )...Clue: employ your esoteric knowledge.
