Yes, but ...
I agree with whoever said that if one were to post this on a woodworking
group, the answer would be "bandsaw" 10-to-1. It's just a better tool
for the job; much smaller kerf, and therefore less wood waste *and* less
power required for the cut, and probably less dangerous too (remember
that ipe is really hard wood). Yes, potential problems with tracking,
but that's what tuning a bandsaw (and learning how to steer wood through
it) is all about.
Of course, if one doesn't have a bandsaw, as I don't ... hell, you could
rip from both sides on your table saw, then handsaw the remaining inch
or so in the middle.
Or you could do it like Noah's carpenters, sawing the whole thing by
hand ...

This can be done on a large bandsaw or one equipped with riser blocks.
This kind of cut is called a "resaw." The result is book-matched
pieces.
A tablesaw can rip this cut by flipping the stock, keeping the same
side against the fence, then a handsaw can cut out the remaining
center. With a 10" blade you'll have a 1" center to remove.
Another method is to use a surface planer. With this method much of
the wood is wasted and you get just one piece.

I'm still wondering why you're buying 8' if you only need 17". Don't you
have a hardwood guy in town? An unassuming shed on a back street with no
sign, full of exotic woods from all over the world? He should have a
short piece of it around, or be willing to cut you one. Maybe has the 1
x stock to save you the resaw effort, too.

I need 24 of these babies, plus backer plates for mounting, plus some other
doodads, and no I haven't found a source in Dallas of all places.

Call the coach at the local high school (or even the local bowling
alley), and ask where they get their plaques made. Every town I have
ever spent time in has a trophy shop, and they can order all this stuff
premade, cheaper than you can pay somebody to cut it, work it and finish
it, and get all the other dood-dads on your own. The only way I would
bother to to have a specific board made into plaques is if the board
itself had meaning, like if it was ripout material from a historic
building, or a salvaged ship.
