These points are perhaps a bit misleading. The resistance from blocks, fittings etc. is cumulative, so even though you may have a very restrictive CPU block, that GPU block will contribute to the system resistance, and will alter flow rate. In a parallel setup the flow rate will balance itself across the multiple paths such that the pressure drop along every path is equal. And again, the resistance of each path is cumulative, meaning that if there is both a northbridge and GPU block on a line, both will contribute to the resistance.
