Solution 1:

You can use your SVG as a background and you will be able to easily control the size:

.rating {
  background: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="68" height="11" viewBox="0 0 68 11"><path fill="grey" d="M6 8.84L9.708 11l-.984-4.07L12 4.192l-4.314-.354L6 0 4.314 3.838 0 4.192 3.276 6.93 2.292 11zM20 8.84L23.708 11l-.984-4.07L26 4.192l-4.314-.354L20 0l-1.686 3.838L14 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM34 8.84L37.708 11l-.984-4.07L40 4.192l-4.314-.354L34 0l-1.686 3.838L28 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM48 8.84L51.708 11l-.984-4.07L54 4.192l-4.314-.354L48 0l-1.686 3.838L42 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM62 8.84L65.708 11l-.984-4.07L68 4.192l-4.314-.354L62 0l-1.686 3.838L56 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07z"/></svg>');
  width: 68px;
  height: 11px;
}

.rating:before {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  background: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="68" height="11" viewBox="0 0 68 11"><path fill="tomato" d="M6 8.84L9.708 11l-.984-4.07L12 4.192l-4.314-.354L6 0 4.314 3.838 0 4.192 3.276 6.93 2.292 11zM20 8.84L23.708 11l-.984-4.07L26 4.192l-4.314-.354L20 0l-1.686 3.838L14 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM34 8.84L37.708 11l-.984-4.07L40 4.192l-4.314-.354L34 0l-1.686 3.838L28 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM48 8.84L51.708 11l-.984-4.07L54 4.192l-4.314-.354L48 0l-1.686 3.838L42 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM62 8.84L65.708 11l-.984-4.07L68 4.192l-4.314-.354L62 0l-1.686 3.838L56 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07z"/></svg>');
  height: 100%;
  width: var(--p, 50%);
}

<divclass="rating"></div><divclass="rating"style="--p:20%"></div><divclass="rating"style="--p:80%"></div><divclass="rating"style="--p:100%"></div>

For better support you can replace CSS variable with classic CSS:

.rating {
  background: url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="68" height="11" viewBox="0 0 68 11"><path fill="grey" d="M6 8.84L9.708 11l-.984-4.07L12 4.192l-4.314-.354L6 0 4.314 3.838 0 4.192 3.276 6.93 2.292 11zM20 8.84L23.708 11l-.984-4.07L26 4.192l-4.314-.354L20 0l-1.686 3.838L14 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM34 8.84L37.708 11l-.984-4.07L40 4.192l-4.314-.354L34 0l-1.686 3.838L28 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM48 8.84L51.708 11l-.984-4.07L54 4.192l-4.314-.354L48 0l-1.686 3.838L42 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM62 8.84L65.708 11l-.984-4.07L68 4.192l-4.314-.354L62 0l-1.686 3.838L56 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07z"/></svg>');
  width: 68px;
  height: 11px;
}

.rating > div {

Solution 2:

You can use svg clipping.

.rating {
  position: relative;
  height: 11px;
  width: 68px;
  background: grey;
  clip-path: url(#myClip);
}

.fill {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  background: tomato;
}

<svgwidth="68"height="11"viewBox="0 0 68 11"><defs><clipPathid="myClip"><pathd="M6 8.84L9.708 11l-.984-4.07L12 4.192l-4.314-.354L6 0 4.314 3.838 0 4.192 3.276 6.93 2.292 11zM20 8.84L23.708 11l-.984-4.07L26 4.192l-4.314-.354L20 0l-1.686 3.838L14 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM34 8.84L37.708 11l-.984-4.07L40 4.192l-4.314-.354L34 0l-1.686 3.838L28 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM48 8.84L51.708 11l-.984-4.07L54 4.192l-4.314-.354L48 0l-1.686 3.838L42 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07zM62 8.84L65.708 11l-.984-4.07L68 4.192l-4.314-.354L62 0l-1.686 3.838L56 4.192l3.276 2.738-.984 4.07z"/></clipPath></defs></svg><divclass="rating"><divclass="fill"style="width: 55%;"></div></div><divclass="rating"><divclass="fill"style="width: 80%;"></div></div>
