Yup, I used to grind 7-4 long with one kiwame tantou (equipped with archers to avoid raising the scouting stat) and 5 regular tantous/wakis (ranging about 40-80, equipped with various light and heavy infantry). Damage was usually pretty minimal until I got to the last 2 nodes--at that point, I'd assess the troop damage and decide whether I wanted to proceed (and risk troop loss but try to get Juzumaru), or turn back, replenish my team, and repeat.

It's nice because tantous (and wakis) are so fast/cheap to repair, plus everyone's got tons of regular tantous to swap in while others are being repaired.

7-4 long is even easier if you can manage to make a 319-scouting-or-less team that has 2 kiwame tantous on it. (Try putting your 2 lowest-scouting kiwame tantous on the team, then see if you can fill the other 4 slots with regular tantous/wakis and still keep the total scouting at 319 or less.)
