I am trying to help my GM, who is running his first extended campaign, increase the difficulty of the game to compsenate for the 6-7 players we have in the game currently. I know several of the other APs from Paizo have 6-man conversions that people have put together, but I didn't see a thread labeled as such in this forum. Has anyone done a conversion for Jade Regent for more players? Or even added some set pieces or additional encounters/material that might help him out.

I'm running it right now with 7 players, started with 6, added one near the end of book 3.
My early conversion were for however many people we were going to have there so that stuff isn't real well defined but my stuff later is.
If he's just starting I'd recommend looking up some of the plug-ins from Legendary Games, they have some good material specifically designed for the Jade Regent AP, starting in Book 1, and will cut down on how many random encounters you need to have.
I'd also advise ditching the caravan rules. They are not worth the time. He'll also need to adjust the loot some for a bigger group.
I would definitely do slow advancement. I have been running JR since Sept. 2012 and almost done with book 5. Ive had a revolving table so the encounters always seem to be tougher than the players can handle but it is fun.
I'm currently running with 5-6 players (plus an additional NPC Crafting Wizard)in an online MapTools game. We are about halfway through book 1. I've simply changed the encounters by bumping them up about 1 CR to make the encounters more appropriate. So far, so good. I've an odd group though as we really have ZERO martial characters and our "fighters" are a pair of druids and their animal companions. A ninja and a magus provide the group with some heavy hitting once they get combat set up the way they like it.
