Custom Post Limit for homepage only without plugin?

You should take another approach. On home page, you have to make 2 queries:

one for latest post with parameters post_per_page=1 to display the latest post;

and second query with parameters post_per_page=6&offset=1 to display other posts (except latest) with pagination: 6 posts per page.
