Man, a whole lot depends on what occured before that 32.5 in practice and how much rest you had before. Let's say it was near the end of a workout and you got rest, then I would say 27.5 off the blocks with a taper.
I'm going to say no way you improve 5 seconds. Probably as steve said 1.5 seconds or so so like 31. When I was swimming regularly I could do the 50 in about 25.2 in a meet (yards, yeah I know, I was slow) but I could do 27-28 at the end of practice even pretty much regardless of how hard it was. Maybe someone can get 2-3 seconds, but 5 seconds, no way unless that 50 was part of 50x50s on 45 seconds or something.
