Ivo,
My explanation is for a standard X-pattern. Of course if you can modify the motion then all the power too you. Of course i don't have near the experience as you do. I can't imagine using 1" stones like you do.
Actually, I would say that (considering a person has the skill, of which i don't) the narrower the stone, the more even the hone-time each part of the blade receives. My general feeling is that, even with special techniques, there will be some amount of unevenness, though it can be lessened to the point where it becomes negligible.
