I came across this simulator of a lava flow. This may help to understand somewhat on how lava flows can and cannot go.
The type of magna in the June 27th flow is Balsalt and you have a choice to select "High" or "Low" rate. Then click Start eruption.
It may answer a few questions on flows and how they work - althought this is just a simulation and actual flows have many different variables. It did help me to understand a bit more.
