Dual channel with 4 sticks?

Yeah, your platform can support multiple memory sticks but in a dual-channel RAM configuration. It reads two slots as a singular channel.

two dimms per channel with dual channel is all you get until you spend a whole lot extra on HEDT boards. X299, threadripper, etc.

It can be. Some types of dual channel boards have only two memory slots.  It’s common with itx form factor for example.
