Curt:
This is not a direct answer to your question of can you reformat an
RP07.  
However, we were faced with getting data from a DEC10 RP06 disk to a VAX
and solved it by using a dual-access RP06 disk drive and developing code
to run under TOPS10 to access the RP06 in the VAX' Files-11 format.  We
were thus able to format the disk from the VAX, then dismount it from
the VAX, mount it from the DEC10, write DEC10 files to it, dismount from
DEC10, mount from VAX and read the data.  If you'd like further details
let me know.
