The phrase "the heaven of heavens" is found 5 times in the Bible. I believe it is a reference to the 3rd and highest heaven, where the Lord's throne is:
1 Kings 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
As for seven different heavens, I don't believe that's scriptural.
