Have you looked at the file lists? I haven't (I don't have any 32-bit
machines), but a first guess may be that the 32-bit version has both
PAE and non-PAE kernels, libraries, etc., so you have more "stuff" to
support the hardware environment adequately.
On the face of it, it sounds logical, but it makes no sense.
I can understand that 64bit systems are supposed to support 32bit apps,
but I have never come across a 32bit system that supports 64bit apps.
Apps do not depend on low level PAE OS architecture.
