How many PCIe lanes are on the M.2 slot? x4?

If it is x4, can it be configured to be bifurcated, x2x2 to support an Intel Optane H10 SSD (x2 to Optane, x2 to QLC)?

I have the X735 3.0 and the X876.

I know this case doesn't accommodate the X735.

Is there case that will fit the X735 3.0, RPI 4B and the X876?
