That's probably the fault of Halifax not making it clear for you. If you can direct message the corporate actions team (if they have one??), make it abundantly clear that you are applying for the full entitlement and subscribing for an excess.
Along the lines of...
"Dear sir
I wish to apply for my full entitlement as per my holding and continued holding from 30th April of 7 million shares.
Further to this, I would like to subscribe for an excess off 3 million shares.
Therefore my full subscription will be for 10 million shares.
Yours faithfully
Mr chillipepper64"
If you have to spell it out for them do so... but as I say, what you had and hold from 30th April is what you are entitled to apply for regardless of how poorly Halifax might have worded it - they took long enough to get it out so it should have been perfect!
