The last time I played around with slackbuilds, the only thing I needed to untar was the *.tar.gz file provided by SlackBuilds.org, which provided the 'build environment' (ie folder). I would then grab the source for the programme, drop it into the folder and run the executable (ie *.SlackBuild). The programme would compile, pop out a *.tgz file, and then I would install it.
For your case, I think it would run something along the lines of:
1) download
source: p7zip_9.04_src_all.tar.bz2
slackbuild package: p7zip.tar.gz
2) untar slackbuild package and place source package in the resulting folder.
3) run p7zip.SlackBuild (on the assumption its executable---sometimes they aren't, and you have to do it yourself).
4) Install the resulting Slackware package (which kept getting deposited in my /tmp directory...)
