No. This is not a chain/link situation.
If you have mixed size wires in the circuit think of them as a series of
resistors whose total resistance is found by adding them together.
For example: if you have four feet of wire that has a resistance of .01
ohms/foot then that is a total of .04 ohms. If your juice then passes through
6 feet of wire that has a resistance of .02 ohms/foot that's .12 ohms added to
the first .04 ohms or .16 ohms. For the round trip it would be .32 ohms.

A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link...
Effectively you have a 14ga run to the battery...
