Be warned, if you can solve this case (n=7) I will send in 
the next case (n=9) and Maple will never return form it.

So we see a pattern: n=3 works with simplify, n=5 only with 
your special radical method, n=7 fails even with the radical 
method and n=9 is ending in nirvana.

So there clearly is some insufficient implementation of these
simplifications.

Are these cases too complex? Or to specialized?

Unfortunately the answer is no. We are talking about 
simplifications of sum of roots of unity (which your solution 
shows). Something I expect a good CAS can handle.

Hi Maple developers, please take note. You mastered the
even cases, now go for the odd cases also.
