A "bank" is the logical term for what memory is addressable using the
same chip select signals. So in your case  ther  eis  obviously  just
*ONE* bank of flash memory.

There is absolutely no problem when the erase units within a bank  of
flash  memory  have different sizes. Of course your flash driver will
have to fill in the flash_info struct correctly.

Best regards,
