Unless I missed some key detail, once a node is assigned a job in a partition, it's unavailable *as a whole* to other partitions. So if you start a job that only requires one core on a 32-core node, the remaining cores can only be used by other jobs in the same partition. Obv, if you only consider whole node allocations there's no difference.
