there is an apparent issue. If matter flew at the speed of light away form the center of the universe for 14 billion years, then that would seem to mean that the universe could only be 28 billion light-years wide, The fact that it is wider seems to suggest that matter flew faster than the current speed of light.

Only in the very first minor fraction of a second is it thought (by some, based on Inflation theory) that the universe expanded as fast, actually many many times faster, than light.

Inflation happened early on, yes. But the expansion of space was not a short term effect. It is still expanding. That is why the (observable) universe can be 92 light years across.
