Sure you can. You are working with a simple example of exponential mathematics. Seven folds, given that number of pieces of paper being folded doubles each time, is equal to folding 2 raised to the 6th power number of sheets, or folding 64 pages in half one time. A bit of a sloppy fold, but easily doable.
The problem is the length of the paper. The previous folds grow closer together to what you are folding, until you can't make a new primary fold anymore. Simply take an ordinary sheet of typing paper that happens to be... oh... say 150-200 feet long... and it can easily be folded in half seven times.
Try it. I double dog dare you.

Talk like that gets my panties wet.
