but they would provide that same degree of protection whether the upstream OPD protecting the circuit as a whole was 32A, 40A, 50A or whatever, wouldn't they?

They would. But there would come a point when the upstream device no longer provided fault protection. ICBA to do the sums, but I'd be surprised if a 40A was unacceptable for 2.5mm²

Indeed. If you recall, we had an extensive discussion about this a little while ago.
