If we used two breakers as you suggest, then we could only utilize the full 32A capacity of the ring and keep the current down to 16A on each breaker if the load were evenly distributed.
You could use two 20A breakers. But if the neutral came loose one one side, you would find yourself with a 25% overload on one side. (Yes, I can show this mathematically.
