Does anyone know if it is possible to install management studio for x64
edition on XP 32bit? (without also getting x86 media)

Install the tool kit appropriate for your XP installation.  You can manage a
64-bit system with 32-bit tools and vice versa.

Actually, most of the front-end tools are 32-bit only.  They run in WOW mode
on a 64-bit system.  If the installer lets you install the tools only, then
they should run just fine.
