Depends how you mean cascade... you could certainly have two connected up to your computer... in MacOSX you can aggregate audio interfaces together so they can be seen as one CoreAudio device within an application. Not sure about the PC world... but that's one way to get a 32 in/32 out FW interface.

Also, I'm pretty sure you'd have to run each Helix on a separate Firewire buss... I'm pretty sure a single FW400 connection would tank out on 64 audio streams.
