ARM7 totally RISC?

Hi,

The ARM7 design does not follow the RISC features exactly and I understand this for most features except...
...with the size of the register bank.

I mean, what would be the consequence of changing the ARM7 register bank (16 registers) for a larger register bank with 32 registers?
