Of course there's always the option of using a Y-splitter. Probably hard on the pump, though.

...hence the "hard on the pump" comment.
The pump has everything to do with it. As you said, more water will go through the path with less restriction. However, it's not a constant amount of water but a percentage of the water that's moving. The concern in this setup is that the higher-restriction part of the loop won't have enough water moving through it. If your pump moves a lot of water there will still be enough water moving through that it cools the higher-restriction piece.
