No, that’s fundamentally breaking the 7 inch limit.
In that scenario, both your hand and foot would have traveled more than 7 inches. They would have traveled 7 PLUS the pre-teleport distance between your hand and foot. That’s the same distance every part of your body would have traveled.
It doesn’t matter how you cut it, or how you define “you”. You would be teleporting more than 7 inches.

I think we’d have to figure out at what part of the brain consciousness originates before we could implement teleportation, because you’d (almost) always want to travel exactly 7" from your point of view.
