Need help programming G32 (lathe)

I need to cut a "thread" type feature. Unlike a thread, I need to ramp into the part, do the thread, and then ramp back out. I'm thinking G32 will do this.

I need to make about 80 passes at it (big feature), so I want to use a sub program to shorten things up. Here is what I'm thinking so far.

ETC.

Could someone explain the G32 on a taper? Does the control maintain a constant lead in Z, or is the feed rate interpolated over both axes to give a constant lead along the taper? It shouldn't really matter, as it just a lead in and out, but I'm curious.
