Yes your total will be 40kg+7kg.

Absolutely agree on the maximum 32kg - they enforce, at least at DXB airport. If you start your journey somewhere else and they allow to check in more you could theoretically risk that the baggage is getting stuck at DXB when transiting. So better no risk taking and put into 2 baggage pieces.

Usually I'm a carry on only traveller, but if I'm taking stuff to family in India, there is a lot of luggage. Also, on one occasion (in J not F) I was traveling with my family of 4 including me. The most bags to check was 8, but at JFK only, they let us check in 2 extra smaller ones, at check in. Not because of too many carry ons, they just didn't mind it. That only happened once though, so we had a total of 10 checked in bags. It's a lot I know
