You're also getting into channel width and not just antenna.
Take for instance the RAX200. Its a triband. each band is 4x4 antenna. But its 160hz wide for the 5ghz. So its 4800mbps. the RAX120, uses 80hz wide channels. (but can aggregate with a hybrid 80+80 for 160hz wide).
It starts getting complicated.
I'd read through this article.
Understand Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E (802.11 n/ac/ax) (duckware.com)
it goes over channel width, qam, etc in a very direct manner that walks you through it so you can understand it.
Worth reading and can help understand whats going on nicely.
