I'm not getting the math...how long is the T-5 and how many bulbs? 192w divided by 32w is 6. Personally I use an 8 bulb 4' T-5 and if you do the math (a lot of math in weed growing LOL) I could get 8 6" pots comfortably to start, then I add the 4' 4 bulb T-5 and spread 'em out.
Have you already bought the equipment? It also depends on your purpose. If it's a personal grow the obvious answer is enough for you
What's the plan for flowering? I guess you decided not to use mixed spectrum bulbs...personal choice.

Yea there are six bulbs total 32w each about 3 to 4 ft long and no I didn't buy it I got it for free lol I got a hps light so I was thinking about vegging with the t5 in one room and flower with the hps in the other room for a constant harvest

Like PetFlora said if you can put 54w tubes in there that's be fine...if the unit is OK with them. I have a T-5 8 bulb with 5 6500K and 3 2700K bulbs for veg. If you want to mix spectrum with the HPS you can buy some larger 6500K CFL and put them along side...maybe using "Y" sockets. Just a thought. You can also use the T-5 for flower, but personally I doubt you'll be happy with the yield and you'd have to buy another one for perpetual...not sure I'd do that...
