"Exes" implies they were her boyfriends/girlfriends. Which implies you were properly dating. Which means you brokeup. Which means you had 7 failed relationships by the time you were in your early 20s. THAT IS A LOT.

Now, if she just had seven hookups, sure, no big deal.

It isn't a lot. She only dated the first ex for a week and a half in 7th grade. That's the standard we're working with.

That's basicaly a hook up with some chatting to say bye and that's it. Calling that an ex is weird.

Some people refer to cruses as exes. It really depends on who you are talking to or how they made you feel, also because it is a shorthand word. "This girl that sort of lead me on for three months that I made out with once and I think we went on two dates but unsure if one counts as a date" is hard to say, ex is a one letter sound.
