No, not if you're counting Europe as a continent (which you are because you count seven). Europe's east boundary is political/cultural.
It's rather silly how this is SO ingrained that even an article about the definition of continents includes Europe without comment. Even the map it cites draws Europe in a unique way, as a distinct labeled area but also as a part of Eurasia. Zealandia makes infinitely more sense as a continent than Europe.
Also, I just found out that some textbooks in Europe teach that North and South America are the same continent. The irony.
