Hello John,

@"\b\d{7}\b|\b\d{8}\b",

An interesting additional idea, although obviously not really flexible - I
would opt for the flexibility of \d{7,8} as long as I can make it work.
Furthermore, your example could be less confusing, IMO, as

\b(\d{7}|\d{8})\b

Or of course, as

\b\d{7,8}\b

which brings us back to what has already been mentioned. Maybe I'm missing
the point of your post?
