This would give you only a single patch, representing the commit at
HEAD~7

Maybe the "--compose" to "git send-email" is what you are looking for:

       --compose
           Invoke a text editor (see GIT_EDITOR in git-var(1)) to edit an introductory
           message for the patch series.

           When --compose is used, git send-email will use the From, Subject, and
           In-Reply-To headers specified in the message. If the body of the message (what
           you type after the headers and a blank line) only contains blank (or GIT:
           prefixed) lines the summary won't be sent, but From, Subject, and In-Reply-To
           headers will be used unless they are removed.

           Missing From or In-Reply-To headers will be prompted for.

           See the CONFIGURATION section for sendemail.multiedit.


Best regards,
