I have noticed that the regimental standard bearer for the cadians has the regiments number on the top of the flag and another number in the right corner. Ex. VIII for the regient then a 7 on the right. Does anyone know what this number is for.

Probably signifies a lower level of command, most likely the Company.

The "standard" paint scheme for IG done by 'Eavy Metal is Cadian 8th. They're the 8th regiment of Cadia. I don't see the number 7 you're looking for though. I'd assume it's probably 7th battalion or something along those lines.

Look at the standard . On the right side of the flag there is a seven. I thought it was the companies number but its the regiments standard. [/url] http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440247a&prodId=prod1140073

Regiments are part of larger military formations among the IG so the 7 probably denotes being a member of a specific battle group.

It could be the seventh battle group of the Scarus sector, or seventh battle group of the Segmentum Obscurus.

its safe to say that relictors are the greatest army a man , nay human can own.

I'd also note that that 7 isn't part of the sculpt. It was painted on afterward, or a decal was placed on after the fact.
