The Max -7/-8/-9 are not stretches. The cabin of the 737-8 MAX is the same size as the 737-800; 737-9 MAX is the same size as the 737-900; and 737-7 MAX will be the same size as the 737-700.
The small difference in overall length is from the redesigned tailcone, not an increase in cabin size.
It won't be until the upcoming 737-10 MAX that there will be a longer cabin than the previous models. It will add about two economy rows over the -900/-9.
