I would like to embark on a massive Minecraft build that includes NPC villagers. Now I would like to know how large of a "village" I can make. I was reading that they have to be within 16 blocks horizontally from a door to register. Also, I read that to transplant villagers to another village they have to be moved at least 32 blocks away from their original village.
Does this all mean that I can only make a village that is up to 64 blocks across?
Also, since wells are considered to be the center of a village, can I create wells every 64 blocks to create another village adjacent to one?

Essentially, infinite.
The value of 32 blocks determines how far away from an existing village a villager must be to create a new village. Hence, if you build a load of village structures 32 blocks apart, you will have saturated the land with villages. Then, just expand from your 'nodes' to create a village around each one. From the villagers' perspective, there will be a separate village every 32 blocks, but from the players' they'll all appear to be the same.
So by 'Essentially infinite' I meant you can create a continuous village-scape that will be populated with villagers, and each actual village therein will be ~64x64.
