You will need a 90mm, or perhaps a 105mm for your 6x7 negatives. Firstcall Photographic sold LPL, and would be a good bet for spares. I can’t recall what the negative carrier is like, but I’m sure the ones in the darkroom where I came across them had metal mask inserts for 35mm. It may be that you can get a variety of different carriers for various film formats, and a universal one with moveable blades.

Firstcall have a very limited number of spares for LPL now. You possibly may be able to pick spares from with Second Hand Darkroom. I have a spare LPL 7700 head which fully works and has the transformer with it.
The carrier for the 7700 is either a 6x7 universal with sliding blades so you can adjust it to fit the negative or part of the negative. Alternatively they had glassless carriers to take a 6x4.5, 6x6 or 35mm negative. I am not sure if they made a 6x7 glassless carrier, I certainly have never seen one.
