As far as I know, and I've asked the same question and had it asked numerous times, your are stuck with 36 on a 36 exp roll. At least that will be consistent. When I was using a non automated camera, sometimes, depending on how I threaded the leader, I could get as many as 38 images on a 36 exp roll, and as few as 35. Now, it's 36, come hell or high water.
