Correct.
If so, the minimum size rings are 24 and 34t (maybe 33t) respectively. But that's for round. The shape of a Bio-pace would increase the minimum size somewhat, but don't ask me how much -- it was a long time ago.
IIRC, 28T was the smallest Biopace ring offered. But there's no reason why the OP couldn't use a smaller, round 74mm BCD ring instead.
