So it would be a problem if someone had a 7 character password? Of varying entropy or only digits?

If the password was in hex format yes. Hex has 16 alphanumeric characters. The English alphabet has 36 alphanumeric characters so that's a lot harder to break at as 36 ^ 7 is much larger than 16 ^ 7.
