If you switch to infusion, depending on the actual infusion speed, the resin will penetrate all the layers, in theory, as many as you like 2-3-4-5-20.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Lets say I switch to infusion, how many layers of CF will it penetrate?

Baja Patient is right, the resin will go through as many layers as you have in your laminate. Resin flows well through woven reinforcements (particularly twill weaves). I've never known a laminate too thick to infuse.

In places the thickness will be 5-7 mm, will infusion penetrate all those layers of CF? (some UD fibers in there also.)

The UD fibres won't infuse very well; they sit so tightly packed that the resin would find it difficult to get through. If you're using unidirectional carbon with infusion then you should use UD that has some weft (i.e. it is 90% UD with some glass or carbon running the opposite way, like a woven fabric but with the vast majority of the fibre running lengthways. UD in this format is particularly common as a tape (a strip of woven material between 100mm and 500mm).

I guess the answer is yes with the corrects routing and blocking of the feed, in that case is that expert stuff that I should practice until perfection, or straight forward?                                                    

Well, making a structual subframe itself is certainly not basic/beginner work but if you've designed it correctly, the actual infusion should not really present any problems that would not be encountered when infusing something less ambitious.

All the best with it,
