Even IntervalStyle won't help you here; since recent releases consider
the values "1 day 8 hours" as distinct from "32 hours" (because
they are at certain times of the year in some timezones
where days are 25 hours, etc).

If you tell it what time of year you are thinking of this trick can work:
dish=# set datestyle to german;
SET
dish=# select '2001-01-01'::timestamp + (interval '32 hours') - '2001-01-01'::timestamp;
?column?
-----------------
@ 1 day 8 hours
(1 row)
