As far as I know, the answer is 'no'.

Well, yes and no.
If it's like all the other puck computers I have used, while it is not possible to change gasses between dives, if you play games with it you can swap between air and nitrox. Air is the same thing as 21% nitrox and every one I have used will accept a 21% mix. So, if you start with 32% on the first dive and want to use air on the second dive, you just set the computer to 32% nitrox on the first dive and 21% nitrox on the second. The key is to have the computer in nitrox mode and consider air to be 21% nitrox.
