Not only are they rare events, but they also don't make 6 car trains a problem. You either break the train up into 2 or 4 cars... which is what would happen with an 8 car train anyway.
So again.. there is no good reason why 7k's can't run as 6 car trains. From my understanding.. the REAL reason is Metro wants to justify power upgrades for moving to 100% 8-car train operation. That is probably the only reason. Whether that is a "good" reason is subjective.
