The options that single fare finder shows are the only options there are; you won't be charged something else, no matter what you do between entry and exit.
(ignoring complications around exceeding maximum journey times, or getting capped for multiple journeys on the same day/week, etc etc)
It wouldn't be that much different, no. It would however be more than zero different, because it's not part of the current functionality of the back office software...

This thread needs a picture! Here's one, taken from https://assets.nationalrail.co.uk/e8xgegruud3g/7MPHvJyyOziqAeWv1lbVX9/1aee9643ae497c2bc6bc55d2e7c56842/CCS0723844574-001_London_Paddington_map_2023v5.pdf and annotated by me:

When the new ticket is more expensive, you pay...
