I think you're wrong here. I'm no expert on these types of things but I still think you're wrong. It doesn't matter the actual size of the prey item in my opinion. It's about the weight of the prey item to the size of the predator.
Most of the time it takes longer for a snake to digest a meal is if it's an oversized meal for them. A hopper is as big a meal for it's size as a jumbo rat may be for an adult. Get what I'm saying?
I do know though, that some people allow an extra day or two for guinea pigs to digest because I once read they have thicker skulls so it may take a bit longer to digest.
