While it's theoretically possible to build 32 spoke 4x wheels, it's pretty much something that you should not contemplate. It probably will result in spoke head interference. 3x for 32 holes is pretty much max. For your weight, I wouldn't think that properly tensioned wheels would give you that many broken spokes. If they are drive side rear spokes you may be abrading them with your chain.
