You almost got it. In the 28 watt config. one power lead goes to one end and the return goes to the other end. If you run 2-28 watt leads to one end and one or two return leads to the other end you are running 56 watts to the bulb. That is a very over simplified explanation though. It is basically the power of two 28 watt bulbs into one 54 watt bulb. Now that is assuming that the ballast is meant for 2-28 watt bulbs. :-) If you have two leads going to each end of the bulb it is a safe bet that is what is being done.
