Slightly, but its minor. The smaller the cushion:
1) The leather will stretch less with use. On larger surface areas being sat upon, you're going to see more 'pocketing' as the hide has less to support it tightly.
2) Cushions tend to want to lift on the sides when sat upon in the middle of the seat. Again, the smaller the cushion unit the less the lift on the sides.
Buy 2 or 3 cushion based on style. Some designs will definitely look better in one configuration than the other.
