A 2s1p is just a 2s pack ie 2 cells in series to give you 7.4v at what ever the mah rating is on the pack. If it is rated at 2200mah then each cell is rated at 2200mah.

A 2s2p pack like this...

is made up of two sets of 2s cells in parallel. But each cell is only rated at half the total pack mah.
That is to say, there is a 2s 2700mah pair of cells connected in parallel with another 2s 2700mah pair of cells...2s2p 5400mah.

I think I've even confused myself. But that's it.
