To get the counts, assuming your data frame is called factors and it only
contains the 17 factors, you can do

n = nrow(factors)
aux = rep(1, n);
tab = tapply(aux, as.list(factors), sum);

example:

factors = matrix(sample(c(1:3), 3000, replace = TRUE), 1000, 3)
lfactors = as.list(data.fran = nrow(factors)
n = nrow(factors)
aux = rep(1, n);
tab = tapply(aux, lfactors, sum);

Result:
>tab

, , X3 = 1

   X2
X1   1  2  3
  1 32 38 45
  2 39 43 46
  3 47 36 24

, , X3 = 2

   X2
X1   1  2  3
  1 37 36 32
  2 40 36 33
  3 39 42 39

, , X3 = 3

   X2
X1   1  2  3
  1 40 47 31
  2 36 30 33
  3 34 37 28

However, I don't have a quick way of flattening the table and getting the
corresponding levels of each factor. Also note that with 17 factors and 3
levels in each, the table will have 3^17 = 129140163 (thats 129 million)
rows. If the table has 18 columns (17 values of factors + counts), the table
will occupy at least 18 gigabytes on your computer. If your computer doesn't
have that much memory, don't even bother trying.
