Donor Size change

On a first session a donor of say 1.5 cm in width is removed for the desired amount of grafts .

On a second or third session, to keep one scar the existing scar is included in the width of the donor strip. The same length is taken as well .

If say the scar is normal to a bit wide does the subsequent donor strip or strips removed exceed the original strip width in order to harvest a decent amount of grafts each time ? If so,is this a contributing factor in the scar stretching risk over multiple sessions ?
