For 20 MHz this is right, since the document says:

    The maximum e.i.r.p. shall not exceed 200 mW or 10 + 10 log10 B,
    dBm, whichever power is less. B is the 99% emission bandwidth in
    megahertz. The e.i.r.p. spectral density shall not exceed 10 dBm in
    any 1.0 MHz band.

However, for < 20 MHz, like 5 or 10, which we in theory do support, you
can't use that much due to the spectral density requirement. It seems
possible that that's where the 17 dBm came from, since 10 + 10 log10(5)
is about 17.
