Each Chip has the same amount of Pixels and the final picture also has the same amount of pixels.

In a One Shot Colour (OSC) you are correct in the RGGB arrangement of coloured pixels. What happens though is that they mathematically add the surrounding colours into each pixel to create a composite pixel (Bayer Matrix). So a red pixel will have the values of the surrounding green and blue pixels to it, to create an RGB pixel, likewise a blue pixel with have the surrounding green and red pixel colours added to it to create its RGB pixel.

This is a rudimentary explaination and am happy to have anyone add more detail or corrrections.
