2016 s550 service was delayed

Would you guys still buy a 2016 s550 if service B was done at 17,700 miles and then the 30k service a was done at 29,000 miles?

it was a 11,300 mile difference

so the service went over by 1,300 miles

would the remaining factory warranty be voided?

Yes...Not a big deal. Main thing is oil, if there was no indication of oil changes, I would walk away. In your case I would expect 3 oil changes. Call dealer to verify services, Carfax does NOT always show everything. I don't even follow those stupid letter service intervals, big waste of money.

what if service B was done at 17,600 miles and no services until 35,900 miles

almost 17k miles without an oil change

would that be ok?

17k oil change does not comply with the manufacturer’s specifications. On that basis it is “not OK”.

It would not deter me from buying a vehicle, taking into account all available information.

You can have a Indie still do your service or do your own oil changes, but they will want to see proof, maybe he was in area were no MB service center was or owned his own garage.

18 AMG GTC and 22 F150 Limited. Past owner 16 Maybach, 17 Brabus Smartcar, 06 Ford E150, and 22 G70
I do almost all the service on my Maybach. It now has 70000 miles. I record everything and I suppose if the next owner does not believe my recorded maintenance then they won’t be the next owner. No big deal I know the work gets done and that’s all that matters.

In Europe they can go up to 18k miles I think between changes. Only here in the US to they shorten them to satisfy the US Consumer's hang up on short oil changes.
