Payments can be split up and sent over multiple routes.
Also payments can be sent from multiple of your channels at once.
The net effect is the correct amount ending up at your recipient and the payment request being completed.
Sending 2btc maybe will take 15 different routes to find enough channel capacity. But your wallet will handle all those details for you seamlessly.

Couldn't it just find one route and the send the amount equal to the LN node with the smallest balance in the route and then repeat sending txs until the full amount was sent?
