In that case, I've never actually tried to do it, but since Debian 
support for 340xx version is officially EoL, I think it's ok to install 
officially supported driver¹ from Nvidia.

Or, if you feel adventurous, you can build a backported packages of 
nvidia legacy 340xx driver from buster-backports.
I've always used parts of this guide² and had successfully build 
packages from source³ package and DKMS module was also build 
successfully during package installation.
You can get source package using "dget":
     $ dget 
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx_340.108-10~bpo10+1.dsc

No code patches were made by me, except changing "changelog" file via 
'dch' and bumping up version numbers.

Same listing is for i386 arch too.
To build 32-bit packages the process essentially the same, but you 
(AFAIK still) have to do it under 32-bit environment (chroot, lxc/lxd 
container, VM, etc).

I didn't tested this build on actual hardware yet, but it looks 
promising to me.
Good luck.
