Will definitely use a local to repair when available and get a second 17' tube. The 21 goes into 17 but not vice versa was the rationale for taking 2 x 21'.

You may need some sort of Bead Breaker to help with rear tire changes. I use a BIG C clamp. Lots of options. Breaking the bead can be TOUGH.
Yes, a 21" front tube can work in your rear 17" tire ... but it's not ideal and should only be a temp fix until you can fit correct tube. NOTE: with most 17" tires, an 18" tube is also perfectly FINE. So, if looking for spare tube, either a good 17 or 18 will do the job.
What bike are you on?
