I'd say that it's likely that a majority of computers still running win7 are running 32bit.
I'd also suggest that all those users would prefer a stable 6.0 or 6.1 (or maybe 6.3) (no big interface changes from LO 3.2) to remain installable and maintained for security, rather than installing LO 7 on them. That is anyone looking for a 32bit install is trying to restore a computer back to its 2010 state, with current security patches.
So, I'd vote for maintaining a separate feature Exact 6.3, or 6.1 32 bit version, and dropping 32bit from 7.0.
