Ok. What do you connect the ChannelStrip to? :-)
Unless it's other plugins with the exact same number of channels,
interleaving would mean nothing but trouble. The way the ChannelStrip
most certainly is implemented (as VST for one, doesn't support
interleaved data) - individual channels - is the way to go, even in
this extreme (?) case.
