In some circumstances you could, but there are nearly always better solutions.

As Westward says, can you give a bit more info?

What are the better options

On this occasion, 32A + 16A =48A
The other options are probably not available.
What did the electrician that came out say?

After all they have the best information and knowledge of the installation.

He said he would connect the hob and cooker to the same cooker switch, looks like the hob and cooker might have to gone on there own circuits.

Hi L1Jay1. As a trainee I guess you will have access to the onsite guide. Have a read through appendix A and appendix H. Then come back and tell us what you think, and we'll discuss more

You can’t install a 2.5mm radial off the cooker switch if a 32a MCB is protecting this cable.

 

[L1Jay1]

Looks like I need a dual cooker connection unit.

Diversity can be applied to this situation ...

I’ve read that, it says that you can have two cooking appliances on the same supply , and on the same switch, I was just wondering whether both appliances would be ran to the cooker switch and terminated there, or should they each terminate at there own individual cooker connection units . It says in the book page 190 one switch maybe used to control both appliances, it doesn’t say whether both can be terminated there .

I'm confused, there are millions of such similar installs across the country with on one 6mm 32A radial supply, feeding separate ovens & hobs. Whats the issue?

Just fit one of these.
