In Round 2, there were 25 sevens, but no eights or longer:
DILUTER, DIOPTRE, DROPLET, ETOURDI, EUPLOID
LEPROID, OUTLIED, OUTLIER, OUTRIDE, PELTOID
PERIDOT, PETROIL, PILOTED, PLOITED, PLOUTED
PLOUTER, POITREL, POLITER, POULTED, POULTER
POUTIER, PROTEID, PROTIDE, PTEROID, TRIPLED
Disclaimer, I didn’t get ‘em all.
Dunno if that’s the most possible sevens from a set of 9 letters?

There have definitely been more in the past but new words can spoil old records.

ARMLOADS and DIORAMAS also. Unusual for DC to be beaten by so many relatively common words

Surprised they didn't spot DIORAMAS in R10.
Also final numbers game alt:
8/4 = 2; 2 x 5 x 9 = 90; 90-7 = 83; 83 x 3 = 249

38 from TESLIRATH back in episode 5901, but sadly RATHITES is now valid as an 8

Using the current dictionary (at least, as it exists on Apterous), the most sevens from a selection that doesn't contain any eights or nines is 35, from IHARKNESS:
