Since it is clear by now that this perfectly works 
out, and Julian even pointed at the daisy chain 
feature of this combo (providing two connection 
points -- one at the T32, one at the T20 connector), 
there is only one thought left:
If you do not drown in masses of T20 connectors 
anyway (they average at 23 EUR at eBay Germany), 
to set up multi flash with T32s may be done 
with dirt-cheap-no-other-function-than-hold-a-flash 
tripod2flashshoe adapters from a multitude of 
merchants. I use plastic insulated ones with a little 
ball head, and cable directly to the T32. But you need 
those multi connector stuff then ...
