MarthaMI have two SW CAH boys, now 6 and 9, both of my boys slept 7 to 7 for a very long time, years, .... in fact they still sleep from 8-7 and 9-7 respectively. Anyway it has worked for us to space three times while they are awake. My kids have done well, good levels and growth for the most part. I think if it is going OK without waking then keep it up, if you run into problems then change.
Good luck
