I though they were a series of pictures/numbers/symbols from which you have to find a name or saying....

If you take the numbers to indicate how many letters will be in the words of the answers, as they appear in brackets in crosswords, then we need a six word answer, first word of one letter, second word of 6 letters, etc.

Then write the words as an acrostix as follows (I'm assuming that he's got the last two words the wrong way round ... if not, then this won't work!!)

Little Large
Little Little
Little Large

so we have "little" written on the left side, with "large" written on the right side, but in the second line, there is a "little" on the right side where there should be a "large".

So, I suggest, the answer is "a little on the large side"
