That switch appears to have 2x 400G ports, 2x 200G ports, 8x 50G ports, and a pair of 10G ports. So unless it allows bonding together the 50G ports (which the switch silicon probably supports at some level), it's not going to get you more than four machines connected at 200+ Gbps.

As with most 40+GbE ports, the 400Gbit ports can be split into 2x200Gbit ports with the use of special cables. So you can connect a total of 6 machines at 200Gbit.
