It's simple geometry. 4x 36h is full tangent. Likewise, 3x28, 2x24, and 1x12. You could do 4x32, but the spokes would leave the hole on a secant, passing inward before going out to the rim. It's possible, but annoying and pointless.
Likely that the butt ends would contact the heads of the adjacent spoke. But let's leave it at annoying and pointless.
