You should be aware that the number at the end of the path is a 'binary
compatibility version' for eggs, which is independent of the Chicken
compiler version. The current binary version is 7, so the default egg repo
location would be $SYSTEM_LIB_PATH/chicken/7. Here's [a little] more info:
http://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-hackers-guide#versions
Given that you are manually setting the repo location, I don't know that
using a different number will cause any problems. But you will need to
change it periodically - I think the egg binary version certainly changes
when the Chicken major version changes, but - given the number is now 7 -
apparently on some other occasions too.
