I don't know what the source code does to handle these effects, but I believe that it works this way:

Each player has multiple buff bars, and some are not visible to the player. Each buff bar follows similar (if not the same) stacking rules.

Effects have slots (1-12), and if two spells have the same effect in the same slot then they cannot stack. Movement speed in slot 1 CAN; however, stack with movement speed in slot 2. This is why Selo's Accelerating Chorus stacks with SoW (as in both buffs will land on the target).

Visible Buff Bars
Long-duration buffs
Short-duration buffs/songs

Invisible Buff Bars
Focus effects

Effects in these unique Buff Bars are treated a little differently. Basically, any additive stat (not modifier) will stack with one another. If one Worn effect has +100 AC and another has +50 AC. You will have +150 AC. If the effect is a modifier (typicaly %-based), then the greatest % is the only one used. If you have Ferocity IX and Ferocity X, Ferocity X will win and Ferocity IX will not be used. The % mods are, stackable, between Buff Bar types, though. If you have a Ferocity IX (worn) effect and a Worn2 Ferocity IX, then they should add together in the same way that Focus and Long-duration buffs do above.

Invisible but unique Buff Bars
Worn effects
Worn2 effects
AA effects

Each Worn and Worn2 effect has its own Buff Bar. It's like every effect having a unique slot, so everything stacks, but like Selo's vs SoW, even though they stack only the best % mod of that buff bar type is used. That is why Selo's Acclerating Chorus and the Fleet of Foot AA and the Worn2 movement speed item in VT all add up together. Different buff bar types.

If my understanding is correct, that means

No, sir. I believe you will stay at 7%.

Take that with a grain of salt, but I believe it's pretty darn close to the actual game mechanic.
