I'm not totally sure what you are asking. Is the question: "if the cross section is really curved, the cross section would be longer than a straight cross section, and because the cross section is longer the cross section area would also be larger and this could effect the hydraulics?" Yes, I would agree that is correct. If the length in the overbank is much bigger (because of the length added by the curve) the area will be bigger and the velocity will be lower. Depending on the data set, this might be something to worry about.
