You don't need slower speed for macro with flash unless you want to capture
far end ambient light. Generally longer speed will not help to get more
light onto the film with flash, the flash duration is fixed at very high
speed say 1/1000s for T32 at full power.

If you give up TTL control you can use any speed below 1/60s, just set the
camera to manual mode and select the speed you want.
