Texas Instruments' datasheet shows 17 cascaded LEDs.
Bill Bowden shows how to cascade 18 LEDs, uses Mickey Mouse diode gates and he explains how it works:

Here's a way to cascade 4017s for 18 counts that uses more respectable logic. I didn't show the LEDs.
If anybody needs the CD4017 model (I made it for SWcad, don't know if you could make it work for other simulators), let me know.
