Just as something to keep for later, there is an awesome website for testing and tweaking regular expressions that a colleague forwarded to me.

I have a few answers for you, this allows no spaces ("1,2,3,4,5,6,7"):

^[1-7]$|^([1-7],)+[1-7]$

This allows arbitrary spacing between a comma and the next number ("1, 2, 3"):

^[1-7]$|^([1-7],\s*)+[1-7]$

This allows arbitrary spacing as long as it's number, comma, number etc. (" 1 , 2, 3 ,4"):

^[1-7]$|^(\s*[1-7]+\s*,\s*)+[1-7]$

I'm no expert, there are probably more concise ways to do this. That's the Regex part. For jQuery validation (assuming you haven't already) check out "bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/" (sorry can't post more than one link due to reputation). Use it all the time and it's awesome and pretty easy.
