About how many miles should you run between the cross country and outdoor track season? One program at my school has you running about 700 miles between seasons, combined with indoor track meets.

Highly dependent on the time in between your seasons. There's no real just big mileage answer plus you haven't offered any context on what you ran during cross.
I would say whatever you ran during your cross base, do something similar to that and hold it throughout indoor. You don't need to go up any more mileage since track doesn't require as much mileage, but don't go down any or you won't have a base.
For example, say you ran 60 miles a week in the summer and then ran 40 through the cross season, then from preseason to the beginning of outdoor you should run 60 miles a week, followed by 40-50 through the actual outdoor season.
