Sorry to sound argumentative, but again no. Different length flex lines on left vs. right sides of a car will not affect the amount of brake torque at the respective left and right wheels. The pressure everywhere in the system is the same (everywhere in the front system or in the rear system assuming dual bore MC or dual MC).

The only thing that flexible (expandable) lines will do is increase the distance you have to push the brake pedal in order to get to the same brake pressure. This makes the brakes feel mushy and difficult to modulate. But the ultimate force applied to the pedal to yield a certain brake effort will be no different than if all the lines were solid and non-expanding.
