G'day Steve
No, moving the slave cylinder will make no difference, just like shortening the pushrod will make no difference. (See disclaimer below.)
You are dealing with hydraulics here. A push of X" at the pedal will result in movement of Y" at the slave cylinder. Moving the slave cylinder will result in the internal piston being at rest in a different position down the bore of the cylinder, but the distance the piston travels when you hit the pedal will not change.
Disclaimer: UNLESS you move the cylinder (or shorten the pushrod) to the point where the piston bottoms out against the circlip at the end. Or, if there is no circlip (as is the case with most 1" bore cylinder) the piston, cup and brake fluid escape entirely and fall on the floor!
