Seven is not all that unusual, and in my experience, six is pretty
common.  I've put on 100s with a 50-mile loop repeated (so only one vet
check in camp, but the others at least are reused each time as
well--that one had 7 checks, but the first was a gate-and-go for the
100s), with three loops (that one had 6 checks--two in camp, and four on
the trail) and with a figure-8 trail with some common trail in the
middle, so that one check could be re-utilized, but the riders did not
return to camp until the finish (that ride had 6 checks).  A lot of it
depends on the trail itself--where there might be problematic areas that
one might want to check horses before they go there, where there have
been tough areas that one wants to see horses right after, where one can
actually HAVE checks, etc.
