nope, I have an extra 16 meg chip that would put me at 64, but the stupid

  I don't know where they got that idea. I have a PB 1400c (w/Nupowr G3
  250mhz upgrade) that has 16mb on the mobo and two stacked 24's, for a
  total of its max of 64mb. Works fine.

I think it matters how much you started with. Did yours have 16Mb factory
installed?

Mine was a 12MB factory install, which I initially upgraded to 16MB with
a pull from a 1400c/133. It worked fine with one stackable unit, but number
two broke the bank. Swapping the 4MB back (for 12MB base RAM once again)
cured the problem, but now I'm stuck at 60MB, grr.

I can't be positive, because I bought it used. It came with 40mb (16 
mobo + 24), and I recently added the other 24mb. It was originally a 
1400c 166mhz, and I think most of those came stock with 16mb on the 
mobo.

In answer to your original question, I'm also pretty sure that you 
won't find a 1-piece 64mb RAM chip for the 1400c.

I wonder if pulling your 32mb, installing the 16mb, and then putting 
the 32mb back on top would help? Stranger things have happened.
