When using Ilford Universal Fixer, I use film strengh for both film and
paper, with the added advantage that paper (RC) fixes in just 30 secs.

I am not sure if you said you fixed them for 12 minutes using 1+7 (twice
during 6 minutes each time), if so, you should be OK, otherwise, you could
still re-fix them using the correct dilution and for 60% or so of your
normal time for film [ 1 minus (1/7)/(1/3)].
