What I mean is each physical port takes 2 ports in the system definition, one for USB2 and one for USB3.
So some of them are duplicated. If all are duplicated then 7 ports for USB3 the same 7 ports for USB2 give a total of 14.
Did I get it right?
Yes.
And a USB type C can use up to three ports (two SSxx ports [one for each orientation of the connector], and one HSxx).
Depends on whether the USB-C has a built-in switch for dealing with orientation or not (with switch uses 1x SSxx, 1x HSxx, without switch uses 2x SSxx, 1x HSxx).
