The 707s are longer than normal humbuckers, so you'd need special pickup rings or else there'll be gaps around the sides.

Forum member Keven has BKP seven- and eight-string pickups in a couple of Schecters.  There are pictures in the thread below, but if you search I think he made more posts on the subject.  Or it might be worth PM-ing him.

He used pickup rings but I think the pickups fitted in the 707 route with very little, if any, modification.
