I can see why these would need to be strong as they must be acting like valves within the delivery valves?

Imagine the pump elements as little pistons running up and down inside cylinders - because they are...
They have bore and stroke just like the engine's pistons.
The number you see relating to elements is effectively the bore size. You can estimate element output by doing a simple area calculation.
6mm elements have 28.27 mm3 of area 7.5mm elements have 44.17 mm3 for a potential increase of about 150%.
