Show seven fingers first, then eight. While saying "seventy eight".

Have to go back to "two phase" reporting.

I have illegal numbers in my middle school games all the time.

Locally we don't enforce uniform (not equipment) rules in our middle school games (home need not wear white, illegal numbers allowed, duplicate numbers allowed, shorts don't have to match colors).

How is this not viewed as twenty-five, or fifty two?

Scorekeeper must expect all two phase reporting.

Similar to the old one hand reporting (two separate signals) but with one sometimes using two hands for none, one, or both, of the two signals.

This is because the official combines a visible and verbal signal. FIBA resolves this conundrum by having officials display the tens digit facing away from the scorer (with the backs of the hands facing the scorer), and then having the officials flip their hands forward for the ones digit..
