Yes you can get different pressures out of the master cylinder. I understand your query. Since the bore is the same, it would seem that output would be the same. The way you can get a pressure bias is through piston surface area. The rear most piston has a centered semi floating rod that deducts from the overall surface area of that piston. The second piston has no rod, or less of a rod. More surface area= less pressure.
