If you are interested you can look in David Syrett's "Battle of the Atlantic and Signals Intelligence: U-boat Situation and Trends, 1941-1945.

It does not detail type VIIs specifically. If memory serves it does not differentiate between any types of uboats.
What it does do is present the weekly reports from the Submarine Tracking Room including the Admiralty assesment of how many submarines that were currently deployed at sea and to what areas. True, they are only assessments but they are generally considered to be fairly accurate.

In my opinion they are fantastic dokuments with a lot of interesting information.

There usually are copies for sale at abebooks.co.uk for less than 20 GBP in case it interests you.
Should be accessible via a good library as well.
