I would think that any part of a plant could benefit from nutrients taken up by a single root.But by limiting the distribution of nutrients you would also limit the number of roots taking up nutrients.I think that this would have the affect of limiting nutrient uptake.

This is based on the idea that very coarse bonsai soils would also limit the distribution of nutrients in the soil/water matrix.
