Might be a stupid question but does anyone know if it matters what volume your brake fluid reservoir holds.

Not really. More than stock would be ok.
You would not want it to hold less than stock, as it should be the volume of fluid to take the linings to their full sericable wear limit.
But we all check the level on a regular basis, don't we!

replacements are easy to get...??

You wouldn't want the problems with bleeding a beetle master cylinder with no brake fluid... its a pain...
