Just wondering can I connect my 13" MacBook Pro to 2 HDMI projectors? I would like to extend the displays ( 3 display, 1 laptop screen and 2 projector screen) instead of duplicating if that is possible.
I have purchased one of USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter from Apple, and if it can connect up to 2 additional extended displays, I will go for another one.

According to Apple's Technical Specifications 13” 2017 MacBook Pro is able to support 2 external displays.
Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:
- One display with 5120x2880 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colours
- Up to two displays with 4096x2304 resolution at 60Hz at millions of colours
- Up to two displays with 3840x2160 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colours
So, three total screens is a yes, four or more is a no. What’s undetermined is if you can run closed clamshell and have three distinct and active external displays and nothing on the internal display.

What a great collaboration for attributing this in a way that is not only clear, but hopefully durable for at least 3 to 5 years :)

The internal is never truly off. It always has a frame buffer allocated. The limitation is the number of memory apertures the GPU can handle...in this case 3.

Sure, Mike. Perhaps the clearest thing would be not mentioning clamshell mode though. Sometimes less is more. Apple phrases it as the built-in-display AND ( 1 5K or up to two 4K) monitors which also implies that the built-in is a fixed consumption resource.
