both parents have their own HSA claiming one child each. why is the program telling me my wife overcontributed by $3540?

$13100 is an overcontribution.
The IRS views spouses as one tax unit, even if filing as “married filing separately,” so if either spouse is eligible for a family contribution limit, that is intended to cover both spouses.
The HSA family contribution limit for 2016 is $6750 ($7750 if 55 or older). That is the maximum HSA contribution for you and your spouse combined if you each have an HDHP with family coverage.
