I was thinking about Epic Apocalypse and the potential to open 7 seals before anyone even hits level 10, let alone 20, and came up with this idea for how to handle it:

The first time the 7th seal is opened, do the following:

1) Take the first 6 seals (the ones not in effect), and shuffle them back into the seal deck. The remaining (final) seal takes effect normally, and its continuing effect is now permanent. NOTHING (not even Annihilation) can remove its effect, and it continues to count as an open seal for all purposes except counting up to the 7th seal.

2) Continue playing, opening (and possibly closing) new seals as though there were no seals open. Yes, this means that there will be the continuing effect of 2 seals at the same time once the (new) 1st seal is opened. If the 7th seal is opened again, the game ends normally.

Alternately, instead of shuffling the first 6 back into the seal deck, leave the stack as is and just keep going with a reduced draw pile. This obviously only works with Apocalypse 2 mixed in, but who's playing Epic without it? :)
