I think you are misreading the L2 sizes. It looks like 1x8MB L2, 1x4MB L2, and 1x16MB system cache. So you are correct that a lone thread could get up to 24MB of cache, but that's not per core. It's a total of 28MB of cache on the die.

Zen2 has 2x16MB L3 and 2x4x512KB L2 per chiplet (36MB) so it's not like Apple is throwing down afore-unheard-of quantities of SRAM. It's true a single A13 thread has much more accessible L2 capacity, though.
