That has never been an exploit or against any rules.
They flat out said their FC is 7 members though. Yes you are right, it is not an exploit in normal circumstances. I would argue it would be exploiting the system for the intent of buying 16 free company houses when they really should have 2, I point back to this quote:

Even if that specific thing is not, they still flat out admitted to buying houses for a large amount of gil, SE made a statement that they do not stand by it, and they bought new houses when the new wards opened up (they admitted only having 9 at the time) You can't tell me all 9 new houses was legitimate esp when they explained they needed to account transfer to get around that limitation during those 2 weeks.
