7.  7 books, 7 POVs.

2 POVs, I think.

Many, many, and several books had multiple POVs.

But note that it's one POV for each of the the two pentalogies.  At
least, I think it is; it's certainly single POV for Belgariad;
Mallorean might have had more.

One POV per pentalogy, methinks.

But what about Theive's World?  Not only multiple POVs (many, many!)
but multiple authors writing them!
