Personally, I'd say if you are talking about a 7v1 engagement, that doesn't even require any kind of "mass combat" variation. That's pretty much a standard Melee/Wizard combat right there. What I'm interested in is a battle on the scale of your typical medieval battle (say Shrewsbury, where about 14,000 men per side fought) THAT'S something that would require a set of mass combat rules.

I would also note that SJG has already done mass combat rules for GURPS, so I suspect that it wouldn't be too much of a reach for them to do something similar for TFT.
