I don't know about that as Battery Cables are usually listed as a minimum gauge that you can use for a specific application; I have never read you were restricted to only one gauged for any short circuit protection.
With other Wires coming off of the Bettery of the Battery Terminal Clamp or the large + Cable at the Starter they frequently have Fusable Links that require a specific size of Wire.
