It depends on the decoding that you have selected. If you select 1x, you have effectively chosen to always average a full cycle, thus averaging out phase noise, If choosing 2x, then multiples of 2 is advised, and if choosing 4x, multiples of 4 is advised (at least if phase noise is something you would like to eliminate, but its a trade-off). I can't imagine a scenario where selecting 4x and 63 samples averaged is better than 64 averaged. I'd love to hear it if you have thought of one.
