You could even just use the hose if you wanted to ? As long as port on master is never exposed to air and fluid is sealed from atmosphere. Downside on smaller cylinder would be fluid capacity could be exhausted as pads wear. So as long as you keep fluid level topped up as pad wear increases caliper volume .......... you could use a thimble.
