I have PAF-7's in one of my 7 strings. One side of the humbucker has the normal pole pieces and the other has screw heads. I know what they're for, but what relation do the pole pieces have with the sound of the guitar as I move them closer to and further from the strings?

Though you have the magnet in the pickup, the screws conduct some of the magnetic field close to the strings. So you can raise/lower them to change the balance (volume) of each string in the overall output.
