I have read CCD is a summarized version of CDA and has 17 unique sections including the header. I couldn't find out how many overall sections there are when there are full-fledged CDA documents.

There isn't necessarily a hard limit of 17 sections in a C-CDA 2.1 CCD. There are 17 sections listed for that document type, of which only 6 are required. But it's an open document template, so it's allowable to include other section types.

All sections use the same XML Schema elements. Section types are distinguished by the <code> and <templateId> elements.
