Questions

How big is the Sixteen led board PCB?

It measures 129.5 × 101.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sixteen led board use?

37 parts, built around the 74HC595. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Sixteen led board KiCad files?

From the ishandutta2007/challenges repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is klap/sixteen_led_board/sixteen_led_board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sixteen led board design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
