Are you able to use auto_explain with auto_explain.log_min_duration ?
Then you can search for query logs with
message ~ 'Seq Scan .* \(actual time=[.0-9]* rows=[0-9]{6,} loops=[0-9]*)'
Or can you use pg_stat_all_tables.seq_scan ?
But it seems to me that filtering on the duration would be both a more
important criteria and a more general one, than "seq scan with number of rows".
