Understanding how RAM and throughput work with expansion slots

I have included a link to Newegg to use as an example. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233853

I'm confused on how exactly the memory works on it. It x2 16gb sticks to make 32gb's. DDR4 2,666 so 2.6 billion cycles p/second. 2,666 x 8 gives us the 21gb throughput in the "PC4 21300"

So I guess that my confusion is what is the correlation between the 32gb's advertised and the 21gb throughput? what is the difference, or what am I misunderstanding?
