A B1/B2 visa is for visitors to the United States. If Customs and Border Protection (the passport inspectors at the airport) observe by the amount of time you are spending inside the U.S. that you are using the visitor's visa to reside inside the U.S., you risk having your visa cancelled. There is no "magic number" of days inside or outside the U.S. that will allow a B1/B2 visaholder evade this analysis. The officers will make a case-by-case evaluation of a number of factors, and will enforce the law accordingly. In my experience, they are pretty effective at it.
If you are looking for a way to increase the time you can spend in the U.S., find a reputable immigration attorney and make an appointment for an initial consultation.
