I also seem to remember that when the G-GAT aircraft were refurbished before entry to service they were given new ovens etc,..
I think you're right, the capping is at 7 rows, on newly refurbished aircraft.

The recent stories we have heard about a further ‘refresh’ of Club Europe catering do not appear to be caused by poor reaction to the last set of changes. It is being driven by a more fundamental problem –
British Airways cannot operate the current tray-based Club Europe food service if it is to sell more than 28 seats.
This is a tricky problem which is going to take time to resolve. In the short term, my understanding is that British Airways will cap Club Europe at seven rows on flights where a new or refurbished aircraft will, or could, operate it. This will allow the food service to continue to be tray based with the existing crockery.
