Hmm. I am trying to think of who these bunches of skaters might be, who have done a 7-triple program with no triple-triple. I believe that the only current skater who can do it is Akiko Shizuki.
Michelle did 7-triple programs eleven times in major competitions in her career. I am not so familiar with the records of Asada and Kim, so I am not sure how many times those skaters completed 7 triples. Not recently, I believe.
I've been trying to stay out of the craziness that is this thread. I just want to point out, though, that when Michelle did 7-triple programs, skaters were allowed up to 8 jumping passes (including the mandatory double axel). Skaters these days have only 7 passes. If you take out one pass for the double axel, that leaves six. Which means that unless you can do a triple-triple, the maximum number of triples you can get in is six.
