Yes, because MD5 digests are much shorter than 32 characters, even if it's just ascii, so by the pidgeonhole principle there must be. If you're asking if there are _known_ collisions between two messages with less than 32 printable ascii characters -- the answer is likely yes, but there are not known to me and likely not publicly known at all yet.
