I have to agree with @westward10 on this one.
The use of conventional final circuits implies that we accept all of the conditions for conventional final circuits. This includes the fact that diversity cannot be applied in this case, because diversity has already been factored in.
So the design current for each of the 2 radials has to be taken as 32 amps.
I understand and perhaps even agree with @pc1966 and others, that in practical terms it seems likely that there will not be a problem with overloading of the cables. But this doesn't change the fact that the circuits have not been properly designed to take into account the installation conditions.
I would be getting the electrician who installed it to correct his mistake at his own expense.
