I did just the opposite, I took 37 rear bones and shortened them to match the 15 or so inches I had to remove to get the 37 torque tube to fit the 32 frame.
And if you've ever cut a torque tube in half, I wouldn't worry about twisting it by re welding a tab for the radius rods. These tubes are really stout. I've moved and re welded tabs with no movement of the tube.

And if your not getting rid of the torque tube, keep your bones where they belong.
