We have a winner.
The correct answers are 32 for the bishops e.g. 4 rows of bishops separated by 4 rows of pawns (this being the simplest pattern although there are others) & 16 Queens each one separated by a wall pawns

so my guess is you intend us to use bishops or knights or queens as blocks instead so the answer is 32 again this time
