Would it be ok to use a 7 gallon primary for 1 gallon batches? Obviously, I'll have a lot more surface area per volume - is that a big deal? I figure I'll use almost 2 gallons of space with the fruit. I'm not having luck finding a 2 gallon primary without getting ripped on the shipping cost online.

Check at your local grocery store or Walmart for buckets that they use in the bakery department (cake icing and such) They are usually 2-3 gallon in size and food grade (obviously) as well.
Yep, I got several this way. They will give them to you pretty much anytime.
Most will have had cake icing or batter stored in them. Perfectly safe, if washed and properly sanitized.
