No AM4 processors support quad-channel configuration.

When the differences aren't significant, it doesn't matter

It's fine. Just like how no LGA1200 CPU is quad channel. You have 4 slots to add capacity. 2 DIMM's in a AM4 or LGA1200 board is fine. Filling to 4 DIMM's slightly increases performance, if (and only if) the DIMM's are single rank. (Memory speed has a bigger impact than this.) This means, don't worry about it. As long as you have 2 or 4 DIMM's, you'll see the expected performance from the CPU.

For 32GB of memory, choose 32GB regardless of the size unit. If you're not requiring that amount, opt for two 8GB modules.

Running 4x8 offers advantages even without additional RAM. Mixing sequences helps with Zen 2 and 3 based on my limited experience. The decision about the extra expense depends on you.
