Transformer winding

transformer

enter image description hereMy EI core size is 32mm*60mm giving 368 W maximum power.I want to make 30 0 30 5A secondary out from transformer. according to my calculation dual winding of 75 turns for 30 0 30 V if i want another 25 0 25 V 5A from same winding with same center tap.Can it possible after dual 62 turn to take wire out for 25 0 25 V and continue up 75 turn which will give 30 0 30 final out from secondary.(Note that I will not use both voltage at same time).

This will work as you suggest but you need to take account of loading effects on the transformer and leakage inductance plays a part in this. The upshot being that you might choose to add a turn or two to all secondary windings or maybe remove a few turns from the primary. This means that open circuit the secondaries might be a little high but, under loading conditions, the output will be nominally correct. It's optional.
