Solution
Highest oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is \[\ce{+4 (MnF4)}\] but highest oxidation state in oxides is \[\ce{+7 (Mn2O7)}\] because in covalent compounds fluorine can form single bond only while oxygen forms double bond.
Explanation:
Oxygen has the capacity to form multiple bonds which enables it to form a variety of covalent compounds.
In \[\ce{(Mn2O7)}\] also, 6 oxygen are doubly bonded to two manganese atoms and one oxygen is forming bridge between two.
While in \[\ce{(MnF4)}\], four fluorine atoms are singly bonded to manganese atom giving it a +4 oxidation state.
Therefore, due to capability of oxygen to have multiple bonds in covalent compounds, manganese is having higher oxidation state of +7 in \[\ce{(Mn2O7)}\].
