Up to 33391, to be exact.
Yup, up to exactly that number!
(I'm not answering the rest because it looks like the assumptions you made were probably correct)
1: Number must not contain 7 in base ten
2: Number must be one less than, one greater than, or equal to a multiple of 7
3: Number must be prime
4: Number must contain an F when written in hexadecimal
5: Number must be expressible as the sum or difference of two nonzero cubes
Prerequisites:
Looks like I made it a little easy. I'm surprised that you figured out rule 5 before rule 4. When did you figure out rule 5?
