It’s not as simple, for every meter of length you will need to increase pressure to maintain the same flow.
This is also valid if you have a bend in your pipe, you need to increase the pressure to maintain the same flow rate.
If you increase the diameter of your hose, you will reduce the resistance and increase flow.
So yes you will lose pressure, but in real world, do you need 150 bar pressure.
Your flow rate is your main cleaning power, this will reduce in a longer pipe.
My advice would be to increase the diameter of the main pipe, and put reducer in at both ends to attach to your machine and to your guns.
Remember a very long hose is easy to damage, a nightmare to put away, imagine the weight, and a costly investment.

Most companies who make hydraulic hoses can make a pressure washer hose for you.
Just ask, and get a quote.
