This is not a function of the chip itself but of the way it is connected
to the bus.

By 'interleave' in this context, we mean the number of flash chips which
are attached in parallel to the data bus. 

So if you have a bus which is 32 bits wide, you can either have two
16-bit chips (interleave=2) or four 8-bit chips (interleave=1). 

Actually you could also have four chips in 8-bit mode which are
_actually_ 16-bit chips, which makes a difference in choosing precisely
which addresses to send certain magic commands. But you can ignore that
for the purpose of this question.

In short, refer to your board documentation.
