“hundreds of billions of dollars on that program only to end up with 21 aircraft, each with a $2 billion price tag”

Must have been using Military Math. ($2B x 21 = $42B, not “hundreds of billions of dollars”)

Does that price tag per plane equal the total cost of development, manufacturing, and materials divided by the total number of planes?

In the context of programs, yes.
