Good point. So in this case we could simply compact the output by counting, without loosing any information:

# dmidecode -t 16,17 | grep -P "^\t(Max[^:]*city|Size|Part)" | sed -Ez "s/\n(\tP[^\n]*)/\1/g" | sort | uniq -c
      1 	Maximum Capacity: 2 TB
      4 	Size: 16 GB	Part Number: 18ASF2G72PZ-2G6D1
      4 	Size: No Module Installed
