I think FP binary saving/restoring will make an exact reproduction of the table, as long as table elements remain single precision.
I think you can also store 32 bit numbers in .wav files. This is an unofficial extension of the "wav" format that seems to have been introduced by Microsoft and is supported by some other software (audacity?)

AIFF format, but

So if I write a 32-bit floating point sound file to an array in PD the visualisation is -1 to +1, but the data is still stored internally as 32-bit?
this depends on how you store the data: fixed-point formats will clip your data to -1..+1 for floating point soundfiles, i guess it depends on the actual format you are using (but i am no expert here)
i just tried to store a table with a maximum sample value of 2.9199 with the soundfile-object as 4byte floating-point (-nextstep -bytes 4), and lo and behold! the file restores to the exact values (maximum 2.9199)
at least the arrays look the same, i haven't done any scientific comparision...
