This being said it's agreed = that a 7 footer is way too long for the job. The 7 foot hose is so that your buddy can breath while following on your fins. In the open ocean you'll = be side by side and a 5 footer is recommended. With no canister and a 5 foot hose just route it from the post, under the right arm pit up and around the neck and into your mouth. I dive this way and it's very comfortable.
