I especially don’t understand how they get from a single sample to a whole track.

Let’s just take one song for example. “Gettin jiggy wit it” by will Smith. They took the song “he’s the greatest dancer” by Sister Sledge and they recorded the audio from that song onto their equipment. Then using their equipment they create a loop of that recording. They then add their own drums and bass over it in a more hip hoppy groove with more pronounced drums and bass. Then will smith records vocals over it. And the song is complete.
That’s all “sampling” is. Taking a previously existing recording and taking an excerpt of it (sampling it) onto your own gear.
