We have processed images with a width and height of 250000 pixels so ImageMagick should be able to handle your requirements (7000 x 5000). ImageMagick pushes the pixel cache to disk if it cannot acquire memory. Chances are your temporary disk area is too small. Select a partition that has plenty of space and is writable and set the TMPDIR or MGICK_TMPDIR environment variable to this location. Next run your command but add -debug cache to your command line. It will tell you where ImageMagick is creating the temporary pixel cache.
