If you use the paper you can set up a rack behind the table so the paper hangs. You roll it out over the table and it becomes "seamless" with a gradual transition from flat on the table to vertical to the roll. When it gets dirty, cut it off and roll out a fresh piece.

I don't know how big of space you're covering with components, but I just set up my full frame DSLR on my tripod, pointing straight down, with the legs spread to the 2nd locking point to get the legs out of the frame and put some measuring tapes underneath. I had a clear 28in x 16in rectangle of floor space at a 48mm on a 24-120mm lens. You'd need a 35mm lens on the D7200 to get the same field of vision.

You could then zoom as much as you wanted and reposition the tripod for detailed shots of individual pieces on a set up you could repeat over and over again.
