Minor Illusion states:
Minor Illusion
If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can’t create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.
(emphasis mine). My question is how to interpret this cube. If we rotate the cube vertically so that it looks like a diamond from the side, i.e. the diagonal of the cube is vertical, then a 7ft by 5ft wall would certainly fit, since the diagonal is about 7ft long:
Is this "layout" of a cube valid? Note that this could potentially change the argument of this answer. Also related.

Yes, though a DM might not want to deal with abnormal spell positioning
In the Sage Advice compendium, a similar question was asked about the spell Cloud of Daggers:
Using 5-foot squares, does cloud of daggers affect a single square? Cloud of daggers (5 ft. cube) can affect more than one square on a grid, unless the DM says effects snap to the grid. There are many ways to position that cube.
While the Sage Advice article deals with a different spell, the matter is directly related to your question. To wit: "non-snapped" positioning of a spell's area of effect is legal, strictly speaking, though it might not fly with a DM who can house-rule otherwise.

Why would it have a gap in the bottom? I assume you could make the wall/object pointy, so it fits in the edge of the cube.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought the wall was a cube turned on its edge to create a 7' tall barrier using the hypotenuse. Even so, it is contained within a 5' x 5' x 5' cube so it would be legal per my answer.
