Depends upon how the request is worded.

In my experience it's fine. Under is OK, over is not.

10pg writing sample usually means max 10pg, though you don't really want to go lower than like 5 pages or anything either since then the sample is unlikely to contain anything indicating your writing ability.

but depends how it's worded, as someone above said.

10 pages definitely means 10 page max. 7 pages is just fine!
