If you double 7/8, you get 14/8, which is the same as 7/4.  One 7/4 measure can be divided a few ways:
           4/4             3/4

    (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + |1 + 2 + 3 + )
    (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+|1+2+3+4+5+6+7+)
              5/4           2/4

    (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + |1 + 2 + )
    (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+|1+2+3+4+5+6+7+)
            9/8             5/8

    (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+|1+2+3+4+5+6+7+)
               11/8           3/8

    (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+0+1+|1+2+3+)
    (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+|1+2+3+4+5+6+7+)

These are just a few possibilities.  Another one is 9/8 + 3/8 + 2/8.  Also, the beat is just an example, you can use any beats you may have.
