Sunshine Middle School actively carries out labor education activities. Class 7(1) held a dumpling wrapping competition during a labor class, with groups as units (divided into 7 groups in total). Using wrapping 100 dumplings as the benchmark, the part exceeding 100 dumplings is denoted as "$+$", and the part less than 100 dumplings is denoted as "$-$". The quantities of dumplings wrapped by these 7 groups (unit: dumplings) are recorded as follows:

| Group | Group 1 | Group 2 | Group 3 | Group 4 | Group 5 | Group 6 | Group 7 |
|-------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
| Difference from benchmark | $-8$ | $+7$ | $+4$ | $-3$ | $+1$ | $+5$ | $-2$ |

$(1)$ How many more dumplings did the group with the most dumplings wrap compared to the group with the least dumplings?

$(2)$ How many dumplings did Class 7(1) wrap in total during this activity?
