Its not great to get to that point, but fine to cover up a stretched out seedling's stem with soil. Do you have any pics? I'm thinking it needs a lot more light if its already 7 inches.

Increase/upgrade your lighting if needed, or at least get it closer to your plant is if will not cause a heat issue. Add a fan set on low so it will make your plant sway/move. The movement of the stem will cause it to grow thicker and stronger just like wind causes trees and bushes and plants to grow thicker stronger trunks and stems and branches.

Do you have fans blowing on your seedlings geting them to build a strong stem? If you don't have moving air on them they will grow a weak stem and fall over.
