Focus points ?

okay, im a fella that likes to Know before i go ahead,

I Know for a fact that a cannon 350D comes to focus in a 8" SW Newt with a focal length of 1200mm, and a mirror width 203mm giving a F# of ~5.9

will the same camera come to focus in a 10" SW Newt with a focal length of 1200mm and a mirror width of 254mm giving a f# of ~4.7

In my mind the f number should only affect the FOV and how fast you can capture things not the focal point as the focal point is 1200mm. I might be wrong though but i thought ide post the question and see what the response is.
