I believe you are concerned about memory usage here. In that case:
You may try storing start date of every case in database (i.e. +7 days). Create a process that shall poll the data from database everyday and start cases scheduled for the day. Keep it short lived and delete the process after completion. This would save process instances from lying idle.
Hope it helps!
