I don’t know why this would be happening. Do the sequences have the exact same settings. Rather than copy/paste have you tried duplicating your sequence? If that would leave you with a lot of extraneous material, duplicate it once, remove the extra material, and then duplicate the sequence with just the 7/4 tracks as many times as you need.
