Yea, but if you think about it, it should not change much, only affect the flow by less than half tenth of a gallon per minute, since practically you still pass each object in the circuit, but the shorter the tubing the less resistance from the tubing itself... So I'll just stay with the old book from my science class, and keep the circuit as short as possible.

Pump -> water blocks -> radiator -> resovoir -> pump.

Think about it, you will still have the rad somewhere in the system, and the flow should be the same throughout the system, thus why would it matter much? Unless you go into the real small details, but then you might just come out to take the shortest way possible...
