Bore size for Flexi Hose 1/2" x 1/2"

I am wanting to connect up a Grohe Wireless Shower unit:

via these 1/2" male ends:

and I would like to use three of these Flexi Hose pipes:

I have noticed that these flexible hoses have a bore size of 10mm and wondered (as they are normally used for taps on a sink) if they are going to be big enough bore size for a shower ? Do they do bigger ones than 10mm ?

Currently I just have two 15mm copper supply pipes that i am planning on terminating to these yorkshire fitting solder ring irons.

Your shower hose is 1.5m long and ALL the water has to go down that.

So two separate 0.3m lengths 10 or 13mm, in parallel, won't make any difference to the flow.
