Hilarious as all the other answers are, my guess is that this species has more complex sex chromosomes than the XX/XY variations we're familiar with -- perhaps there are more than 2 slots for the chromosomes to go, and then there are more than 2 options per slot, resulting in the humongous number of options stated in the post.

The number 23328 is at least equal to 2^5 *3^6 so that is likely a good clue to what exactly is going on.

It keeps inbreeding down while having a large number of mates to choose from, none of whom can breed with themselves.
