Not familiar with Airbus but all other heavy jets have rudder authority limiting.
You cannot put large rudder inputs at speed even if you wanted to.
The limters ( in some cases 2 stage) set the maximum deflection for the speed to reduce the loading on fin and rudder, regardless of the amount of rudder pedal travel.

I would have asumed that Airbus did the same mathmatics
