"...Then, in the first 10-30 seconds, space itself expanded much faster than light speed."

That's not ten to thirty seconds, it's 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th of a second.  The idea being that space traveled in that time a distance of about a couple feet until the entire universe was the size of a beach ball.  Personally I don't buy that FTL story; I find it easier to believe that everything began with the universe already 4 feet across.
