36 hole hub, 32 hole rim?

I have a deep burning for a build with a 700 rim with a kick back/ coaster brake. I want it to be kinda nice and have an extra unlaced open pro which matches the front wheel, only problem is i have not been able to find a 32 hole hub anywhere, in 3 months of salvaging and talking to shops. I know these hubs are mostly meant for beach crusiers and the 36 count would help with the abuse those bikes get but i have all the parts, spokes and all and just want to finish it.

the big question, can you build a 36 hub to a 32 rim by leaving 2 spoke holes empty at 12 o clock and six oclock? Any ideas, any experiences?
