This can be parsed as follows:
In practice, there are a lot more X than there are Y.
, where
X: systems with more than 28~CPUs
Y: systems with more than 448 CPUs
So there is no grammatical error here.
Three uses of "than" in a sentence might be confusing, though.
Paul might have an idea of a less-confusing sentence.
Thanks, Akira
