If all what one wants is to build a simple client, there is a standing
document called OpenID Connect Basic Client Implementer's Guide 1.0.

It is a profile that deals only the 'code' flow.
Size-wise, it is 32 pages. The break down are as below approximately:

Abstract, Intro, ToC - 2.5 pages
Terminology - 1.5 pages
Getting ID Token - 9 pages
ID Token Validation - 1 page (Seems missing from a4c draft?)
Userinfo Endpoint - 7 pages
Serializations - 1 page (missing in a4c?)
String Operations etc. - 1 pages (missing in a4c?)
Considerations - 2 pages (very brief in a4c)
References, Acknowledgement - 2 pages
Document History etc. - 7 pages

The a4c draft is 14 pages long. It will be longer than this in the end as
it is missing bunch of things.
The comparable portion of the Basic Client Profile is 14 pages or so.

Just one data point.
