If you have 2 inch wide 7k slipper springs like the part # e74SR and your current axles are 38 inches apart on center the hanger kit part # HAP-105-205-01 that you referenced would be what you'd need.

I see that there are 5 leaf springs available for 7k tandem axles and also there are 6 leaf springs for 7k axles. This trailer is 22k Gross vehicle weight with 3 axles. Which springs would be better to use?

The important spec to note here is the length of the leaf springs. The number of leaves used really isn't a concern as long as you obtain the right length (and capacity). The two 7K leaf springs we have available are also for different suspension types (slipper spring and double-eye), do you know which style you currently have, as well as its length?
