Generally the idea is that you first see how the central image holds as you pull the speakers farther away from each other. The farther out from the speakers you sit the farther the tweeters can be. In a 17' room the speakers and a minimal gap to the wall fill up nearly 6 feet, leaving you about 11 feet to play with, which in the common 10-13 ft listening distance comes out to you normally not having a limit on how far apart the speakers can go.
The next issue is how you like your soundstage presentation - wide vs deep - and thus the listening angle. The standard stereo placement is a 60deg listening angle on an equilateral triangle. I prefer getting a closer up presentation with a wider angle to favor a front of the hall perspective.
