Did something very similar the other week. Looks like you are sorted for tradesman, but I did the same on my main bathroom a few weeks ago. I didn’t have huge gaps, and my crack along the ceiling was only a couple mm. I have a 1800’s property, and it expands and contracts with the seasons also. Apparently this is what they call “character” !! Anyways, my biggest issue is that all the joins had been grouted before silicon, so the silicon was just for show, and I spent most of the day digging out grout with a multi tool.
I’ll stop rambling! My point is that using a proper Silicon profiling tool, and keeping at a slight angle (so that you are on the next mosaic before you
Leave the last gives a nice smooth bead, and I was really impressed with the final finish, and was surprisingly easy. Guilty for being a wet finger guy for years, but the profiliers with the silicon rubber changeable tips are fantastic!

Doesn't the structure need sorting out at all?
It should have been pinned further back. You can have corners moving 7mm every bloody where - surely? lol
What's going on? Is this a new build by any chance and all stud walling everywhere and single brick external brickwork?
Am I the only one thinking after 3 or 4 years, going through 12 seasons, it's doing to either pull tiles off because the Silicon is so good, or your taps and bath and things might have moved 7mm per year if the floor is fitted well and not moving, and you have 28mm of tiling to carry on with that year. ? lol
Are we just hoping here it grows 7mm and retracts 7mm each season, and hoping it just comes back. But this time squishing the Silicon?
Doesn't seem right to me this lol

As I said needs investigating 😁
I would say, ad Silicon job from day 1, water got behind and owner kept using it. Damage done and gets worse until owner thinks ' 7mm, that's alot must get it sorted "
To late I'd say.

Fair point regarding continuous expansion vs seasonal expand and contact on older properties.
