Stoppage time is added so that the teams are playing for an actual 90 minutes. If in the 91" a penalty is called, that will take at least 2 minutes to set up, argue against and then take. So 2 more should be added to the original stoppage time.

I'm not sure you understand why they add stoppage time. Still, adding an extra 5-6 is a bit extreme, but I've seen 4 very justly been added before due to slow subs and silly time wasting.
