The 7-10 times seems quite off. It’s pretty close to 5 times assuming common extraction yields about 20%. So instead of brewing 16g of coffee you could dissolve 3.2g of instant.

For what it's worth I just checked my store brand instant, and the serving suggestion is 1.9 grams.
All depends on the concentration you are trying to achieve. If you brew 16g of coffee, you'd usually end up with around 260g of finished brew.
