vi <filename> without numbering for few files
my general setting is to whenever vi <filename> , it opens that file with set number enabled.

for few files i dont need numbering

so manually doing :se nonu inside vi

Can while opening the file give parameters or arguements to open it
without numbering..

You could also make this into an alias (tcsh), such as

alias vino "vi +'set nu'"
to open with no numbering just run
vino <filename>
