Kinda not sure about what you really want to know, but yes, as previously posted the saddle is wider than the sit bones.
But since many people ride differently, perceive pain and discomfort differently and have varying musculature and such about their sit bones, there are an overwhelming amount of different ways to pad or not pad that saddle that is made for your width of sit bones. So no magic number or formula will assure you satisfaction. You just have to try and learn what works for you or not.
For me, padding is generally a bad thing on the saddle. If I am wearing bike shorts with a chamois, then the padding of the saddle seems to work against the padding of the chamois. Mostly I find that it's a matter of how in-shape the muscles in my butt are. When they are out of shape at the beginning of my riding season, my butt has pains a half day or so afterwards. At the end of the season when my butt muscles are in shape, I could probably ride a brick and be comfortable.
