32,000 / 3 files per table = 10666 tables / 350 blogs = 30 tables per 
blog? That seems high, even with plugins.

Also as far as I know the 32k file limit is only with 2.4 kernels, not 
2.6 ones.

With InnoDB all tables are put in a single file.

But really you should use a kernel made within the past few years.

I don't see how they're related.
