Correct (well, technically you'll have 4x32 DS0 at this point, but 2 per
E1 are used for signalling).

Correct.

You can either purchase less modem cards and use one of the E1 ports on
the PM-3 as a WAN port to connect back to your POP or you you'll need
another router of some type. Unfortunately, the T1 WAN Expansion Card
does not (yet) have an E1 equivalent and I don't know when it will.
