Do all six fasts have to be kept continuously one after the other, or can there be gaps between them? For example, if a person were to fast on the Mondays and Thursdays of Shawwal and complete all six fasts.

Walaikum Assalam Warahmatullah.
Due to Ramadhan last asharah, I have not answered many questions.
Please go through this presentation, especially the QnA. If I remember correctly we discussed a couple of these answers.
No, six fast of shawwal may be separated. One could use the masnun days of Mondays and Thursdays to keep these shawwal fasts as well.
