How does Cooperative Crafting (Feat) interact with non magical crafting?

As posted on AoN I have included the benefit of the feat below.

“Benefit: You can assist another character in crafting mundane and magical items. You must both possess the relevant Craft skill or item creation feat, but either one of you can fulfill any other prerequisites for crafting the item. You provide a +2 circumstance bonus on any Craft or Spellcraft checks related to making an item, and your assistance doubles the gp value of items that can be crafted each day.”

My confusion comes from the final sentence saying “… and your assistance doubles the gp value of items that CAN be crafted each day.” Emphasis mine on “can”

Now, in magical crafting it specifies only 1,000gp can be crafted per 8 hour period unless you add 5 to the DC in which case it’s 1,000gp in a 4 hour period allowing you to reach 2,000gp in an 8 hour period. I understand this stacks again allowing either 2,000gp or 4,000gp for an 8 hour period depending on if you are adding the +5 to your DC.

With non magical crafting there is no set go amount that “can” be crafted. It’s just a DC check multiplied telling you how much work you’ve done. I have read in multiple places online that you just multiply your answer by 2 and that is how much work you’ve managed but that doesn’t sound right to me because how the final sentence is phrased. Because with mundane crafting you can craft any amount of gp as long as your DC is high enough there is no limit set on it that needs to be doubled to make you faster. I feel like if the feat was meant to double non magical crafting it would say something to the effect of “… and your assistance doubles the gp value of items that ARE crafted each day.

So, do you just get the +2 to non magics crafting and doubled value to magical or am I reading things wrong?
