{corrected post} Everyone was only allowed one reserve. Very likely that many games would abort.
However, why not do what comes "naturally", as one community post put it. For example, even if you only have four players, play the game, the 7 player could very well lose. WOT knows this, and the training rooms allow odd teams. So Why not play? Alas, the game went forward ONLY if both teams each had 7 players. But ALL teams would rather play then sit and wait 10 minutes, six times. No? I saw all players, both friendly AND enemy, press Ready. Did they not? Our Group had 8 clans and not a single clan won this evening. Ie no player could play a single game. Suppose they called a war, and the side with 6 tanks had to forfeit, even though their enemy did not show.
