But Oracle has a 64-bit hypervisor. That is what matters - "XEN" has to
be 64-bit, Dom0 as well as other Domains can be 32-bit....

can't find a definitive answer so does anyone know if I can have a 64bit

No, you can't.   You need 64-bit hardware to run a 64-bit guest.

However, if you're asking (as people sometimes do) if you can have a 32
bit dom0 and 64 bit guests.  Well, the answer is still "no", but with
caveats.  OracleVM has a 32 bit dom0 and allows 64 bit guests; RHEL
definitely does not, I know what the needed code is, and it's not there.
