I have today been to look at a job, the owner wants 7 Sky HD boxes rack mounted.
We have twelve TV points/coax cables, a 5/6 core coax cable going to the proposed dish location and 6 HDMI cables installed to 6 individual rooms. 12 x RF output to all wall sockets for the remote eyes will be needed.

Any suggestions on how best to wire this up?

Get an expert in - its waaaay beyond the scope of the forum!

If you want proper SkyHD+ functionality you are going to need a proper quattro lnb distribution sytem as Sky dont do 14 way lnb's!

HDMI distribution for 7 receivers will require a matrix switch.

What's the longest lead that HDMI will work over?

No we dont - this project is waaaay beyond the scope of forum help and needs an installer who is competent in hotel type installs to do it. Theres a big chance of making some very expensive and possibly dangerous mistakes if someone tries to cobble together a system & something important is misunderstood or missed out completely.

And if you want to see some examples of badly fitted distro systems have a look at the rogues gallery section on the Wright's Aerials website owned by Bill Wright!
