No, it does not.  Sorry...

Yes, that would work fine.  If you're using the &rm_max_procs() in your INI
file, it should pick up the larger SLURM job sizes.  There are really two
choices:

- always request "-N 32" and make the INI file step through 8, 16, 32
processes for each test (but this may be wasteful if there are long-running
8 or 16 proc tests)

- do what you did above, and make sure the INI file doesn't step through
number of proces (you might want to double check your settings for the IMB
tests because it internally steps through powers of two for procs).
