I’m having confusion in finding the right answer between 2017 NEC 314.16(C)(2) and 314.28, specifically 314.28(A)(2).
Can a 2 AWG conductor be tapped inside a conduit body?

Technically yes. Splicing and tapping is permitted in conduit bodies, just like it is within enclosures.
Practically, good luck finding enough space inside the body to do it.

314.16 should apply, but the volumes of the conductors in Table 314.16(B) stop at 6 AWG.
