So I'd like to enter a repetition of numbers quickly like 16 7's for
instance.
C-U 1-6-7 doesn't for obvious reasons. Same with M-167
What's the next best thing?

Does C-1-6-u 7 work for you?

Shouldn't it be C-1-6 C-u 7?

Keeping Ctrl down and pressing 1-6-u works too.

It is. But you can also give a prefix argument to C-u, and then it
doesn't use the following number as the argument.
