This is a bit of a challenge. I had a similar challenge with Xfce. Basically what I did was ask on the main Centos list for someone running C7_x64 to give me the list of rpms in the Xfce group! I then installed this list of rpms.

I don't think there is an LXDE for CentOS in any of the repos (EPEL or base CentOS), even for x86_64.
There MAY be enough xfce to get that working on CentOS 7.
I am not sure how easy it is to get aarch64 on a PI3, but the base Fedora EPEL actually runs on there. EPEL (and therefore xfce support) would be much better and more updated from there than what we are trying to do for arm32.

Actually I have it running on a ClearOS7 system. Took a it to get it together. I remembered wrong; we worked from Fedora to get the rpms. There are a few things missing, and I really need to file a bug report about them. I was away when I first replied. Back now.

Here is how I got Xfce on ClearOS7 and it should work for Centos7-arm:
First on a Fedora_x64 system run:
yum group info Xfce
You get:
Group: Xfce Group-Id: xfce-desktop Description: A lightweight desktop environment that works well on low end machines. Mandatory Packages: +Thunar +xfce-utils +xfce4-panel +xfce4-session +xfce4-settings +xfconf +xfdesktop +xfwm4 Default Packages: +NetworkManager-gnome +gdm +leafpad +openssh-askpass +orage +polkit-gnome +thunar-archive-plugin +thunar-volman +tumbler +xfce4-appfinder +xfce4-icon-theme +xfce4-power-manager +xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin +xfce4-session-engines +xfce4-terminal +xfwm4-theme-nodoka Optional Packages: xfwm4-themes Conditional Packages: +pinentry-gtk
Put this list into a file called xfce.lst and remove the non rpm lines. Then run:
yum install $(cat xfce.lst | tr '\n' ' ')
I had errors. The following were not found:
No package xfce-utils available. No package NetworkManager-gnome available. No package leafpad available. No package xfce4-icon-theme available. Package xfce4-mixer is obsoleted by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin, trying to install xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.2.4-4.el7.x86_64 instead No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available
The background is black and no network manager on the tray. But I do have it working well enough...
