Yes, but a partial day counts so it can be a tiny bit for day one and 7 with the 5 days in the middle (also excluding shabbos) so practically it is shorter than 7 days.

Does anyone know where to order a custom-sized glass (or plastic but not textured) cutting board? To be used to cover one side of a double sink.

Shops that make wood countertops have scraps.  There's a place on New Utrecht Ave in BoroPark that places sink cut-outs outside for free.  I used two of those  over my flaishig and milchig sinks for years.  Replacing them as necessary. Perhaps you can ask for a scrap at such a shop near you. Wood, formica on one side.

just to cover half a sink. Would it be sturdy enough to also put things down on?
