Using offset with jekyll-paginate-v2

If this is already answered then please direct me to that post. I followed the advice on the Jekyll pagination documentation page to check out the v2 gem and I might have need for the “offset” feature but I’m not completely sure I follow how I should then set up the page. I might want to have a first page with say, just the 2 most recent posts, but for the rest of the pages more posts, say 6. How would I set that up including a correct trail implementation?
