Reported balance on more than one credit card

From what I gather, one should have only one card with less than 10% utilization of all cards total availability. Does it hurt a score if a person has 7 cards with 2% utilization combined on 2 of the 7 cards? I slipped up and let two of my cards report a balance and was wandering if this will have a negative effect?

Utilization only really matters if you want to app. It will give you a better foot in.
