Sisters and brothers in Chinese
I know that if you have two older sisters the elder of the two would be 大姐姐 and the younger 小姐姐. I also assume that if you had three older sisters, that the middle of those three would be 中姐姐 (correct me if I'm wrong!), BUT... I was having a conversation with a friend recently and she said, "My mother has 7 younger sisters". This is amazing in itself, but I couldn't help but think how would you say it in Chinese? You wouldn't really do it in English, but then there's not really an equivalent to 大姐姐 or 小姐姐 either.
If you have an answer I would appreciate it...!!!

Normally, the first one we call 大姐，and the others we can call with their age rank, for example, the second elder sister we call 二姐，the third we call 三姐....In fact，when there are two sisters only, usually we also just call 大姐 and 二姐。

Well,usually we don't say "小姐姐” in a family (that's only a polite way to call young girls)
we called them by number like “大姐，二姐，三姐”

You got it wrong dude. We call everybody in their 20s 小姐姐, if you're also in your 20s. Small kids call women/girls in their 20s 大姐姐.
In a family, let's say one where you have 7 sisters, you would just simply call them 大姐，二姐，三姐(big sis???, the second sis, the third sis)...
Keep in mind that never call a woman/girl 小姐. That means "hooker".
