17' is enough to do all the crosses on that racket. Or, like you mentioned, you could do all but the outside main on each side. Then, cut about 20' for the crosses. Start at the top, string the last outside main on 1 side, then the bottom cross, then the last main on the other side. Now, you're at the top, ready to string down. You have to make sure the top cross is weaved the same as the bottom cross (1 and 19 should be weaved the same). The trouble is probably finding enough tie-offs at the top. You may have to enlarge 1 hole.
