Double het stripe albino is a normal that is her for albino and het for stripe. It carries the genes for both.
Now, if you breed a dh striped albino to an albino het stripe, in a litter of 16 babies, you will get:

2 of 16 (12.5%) striped albinos
6 of 16 (37.5%) albino, 66% poss. het stripe
2 of 16 (12.5%) striped, het albino
6 of 16 (37.5%) het albino, 66% poss. het stripe

Here's how you get those numbers. First take the albino part of this breeding and ignore the stripe. So, het albino x albino gives 8 of 16 albinos and 8 of 16 het albinos. Now the stripe gene. Since it is a het x het breeding, only 1/4 of the babies will be striped. The rest will be 66% possible het for stripe. So, of the 8 of 16 albinos, 1/4 (or 2 of the 8) will be striped making them striped albinos.

I know this is confusing at first, but I hope this helps. If you still don't get it, keep asking. I'll be glad to try and explain it some more.
