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.
