But on a GDDR5X the speed/bandwidth and expected capabilities of PS5 would make more sense on size/cost/performance to have more or less modules (imagining that it will probably have less than 20GB)

If you look at the cards so far released with GDDR5X they are all build up from 1GB modules, I havn't seen any bigger. So going by what we have seen that seems to be what they are producing, so ift he PS5 would use that type of memory expect to see a simulair buildup of bus, speeds and memory modules as the high end graphic cards of today.

But memory type and stuff doesn't say everything, even tough the Xbox one X uses GDDR5 and not GDDR5X it still manages to hit the same effective speed as the 1080GTX, that is the most cost effecient sollution to go for the slower type of memory with a high memory bus (more modules)

But on 3 years the GDDR5X and/or bigger than 1GB modules may be a better choice for speed or cost right? But sure we need to evaluate based on the present and what that can say about the future. But 16 to 32 modules would use a lot of space wouldn't it?
