Man to be straight up, buying 7 tents... that's a huge chunk of change on items that do not contribute to more bud. I've never shopped tents, but I'd imagine your talking a grand anyway? By chopping each light up into its own closed room your eliminating all the crossover lighting of having one long canopy, the beautiful thing about multiple lights is eliminating all the shadow space, that will absolutely cost yield not doing so. Framing a 22ft wall could be down for 150 bucks. With the rooms all broken up your gonna have a hard time regulating temps, humidity, co2 as opposed to one big room.
That's all I'm gonna say about that, I'm not here to be a tent basher that's just my experience. Now to get on with your other questions: if your using co2 your going to want the room sealed, which means you need AC. How big? That's hard to tell without knowing your specific climate. Using air cooled fixtures will cut your cooling needs in half, and running co2 will allow you to have the room in the 80s, so my guess is you won't need too big of an AC, I'm not familiar with those 315s, but for example 7 air cooled 1000 hps would need about 15k btu, which is 2 window bangers. If you do go with the tents, a lung room would be in good order. You basically put your climate control in one area with no plants then circulate this conditioned air through your tents. Do your fan calculation as per formulas in the grow room design forum sticky. You want each tent to exchange air every 5 minutes. When you start to imagine this you might see where I was going with the one big room idea. With tents you need a very large or multiple in line fans to push through each tent, and a lot of air circulation in each tent to make sure theres no dead spaces. Then you need a lung space. A big room you don't need anyou in line fans, just regular oscillating wall fans and you can setup your AC and Dehuey hanging on the wall in the flower room. So easy
