What is a 10-day look?

Please refer to the policy document for clear explanation. It essentially gives you the option to cancel the plan and get a full refund by informing Seven Corners in writing with the first of these events:
10 days from the effective date of your plan
10 days from your scheduled departure date.
The Insured should identify which one of these two events will happen first. This is the time that the traveler has to cancel the plan.

Can a group of travelers insure the entire group's trip cost on one person's policy?

No. The insured can only file a claim for the individual expenses for the trip and not that of the total expenses for a group of which the insured is a part of.
For example, if John, Steve and Smith are traveling together. They collectively pay for the airticket, car rental and a condo rental. John then insures only himself, but add the total expense of the full trip including the total airfare, car rental and condo rental. However in the event of a claim where the trip is cancelled if one of them falls sick, John will be reimbursed only for his share of the airfare, the car rental and the condo rental.

How does one figure out the family’s trip cost? Should one divide the total trip cost by the number of travelers?

This method of dividing the total trip cost by the number of travelers would only work if the cost for each traveler is exactly the same (airfare, hotel expense, cruise expense...) If however the expenses vary, then the above method will not work, and it will result in some travelers being over-insured while others are under-insured and this will impact the reimbursement in the event of a claim.
Here is an example: John and Betsy buy airline tickets for themselves at $1000 each and a ticket for their son at $700.

Therefore the total ticketing cost is $2,700. If however they divide the total by 3, and insure each of them for $900, John and Betsy will not receive their full reimbursement of $1000 in the event of a claim. This in spite of the fact that John and Betsy show $1000 as their expenses, they will be reimbursed for $900 only as this is the amount they are insured for. Likewise even though their son is insured for $900, his claim will only be $700 as this is the expenses shown in his receipt. In other words here the parents were under-insured while the son was over-insured.
