You need 15 triggers to go from 32768 Hz to 1 Hz. Existing circuit uses 4 triggers to divide 60 Hz by 10 and another 3 to divide by 6. You can repurpose those so you only need 8 extra triggers. Two transistors each means 16.

You can also save 6 transistors from existing dividers because all divisions are by 2. So net total is 10 extra transistors for division, plus at least one in the oscillator itself.
