Mormon dispensationalism
Do Mormons hold strictly to a 7-dispensation view, or do they allow for the possibility that there might be some other number of dispensations?

Latter-day Saints do not believe in "dispensations" as generally understood in mainstream Christianity.
For a better understanding of the LDS view of "dispensations," check out "Dispensation of the Fullness of Times" and "Dispensations of the Gospel" in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism.
