By the voicings which are determined by the bass note (or voice).

c-e-g with c as lowest is root position.

e-g-c with e as lowest is 1st inversion.

g-c-e with g as lowest is 2nd inversion.

If it's a 7th chord, there's one more available note, so you can get a 3rd inversion.

b-flat-c-e-g

Does this basically change the name of the chord to somehow distinguish it from a basic triad?

No, the lowest note is a C, ergo it's just a root position C major chord. Music notation is there to explicitly spell out all the notes you want the voicing to have. But regardless of how many doublings of notes there are it's just C major root position.

& Is there something like a 3-ton-voicing and 4 or 5-tone-voicings? Does it actually matter if I have 10 notes played as long as it still contains the three basic three notes of the chord?

It matters that it will make a different sound. That's why it's important to have music notation & scoring. To specify the composer's intention.

But not regarding the naming of it. It's just a C major chord with however many various c, e & g notes you want to include.

The matter of lowest bass note alters which inversion it's called. But even when it's a different inversion, it's still just a C major chord.

Hope that helps!
