I would think you would be correct only up to the point that the piston
meets resistance and then the piston meeting the least resistance would
start receiving more fluid and travel further. The fluid moved by the
pressure exerted isn't particular about where it goes -- only that it goes
on the path of least resistance.

OK Simon but he's right about the movement being less in a larger
cylinder, with the same amount of fluid displaced by the master.
