The RP2040 only has one QSPI port.

JLC will assemble a RP2040 board for you for <$3/pc at quantities of 5.

I think it’ll be more expensive. When I was looking at jlc it seemed to be $100/10 was starting point if you want assembly

You need to carefully select JLC basic parts. QSPI, XOSC, etc. can all be had without paying fees. I've ordered 5+ boards with RP2040s that have come out to "cheaper than Pico" prices.

It all depends on how you select the parts. I've ordered a set of 5 boards for $12 total including shipping and assembly.
