This version will return "Too long" where you have 7 digit numbers in rows 2 and 14
=IF(ISNUMBER(LOOKUP(10^7,MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C2,".","x")," ","x"),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C2,".","x")," ","x"))-6)),7)+0)),"Too Long",LOOKUP(10^6,MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C2,".","x")," ","x"),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C2,".","x")," ","x"))-5)),6)+0))
