Don't confuse localisation with size. If a photon is "large", it should be able
to interact with and be detected by two spatially separated detectors at the
same time.

In a sense it can, and in a sense it cannot.

Given exited enough detectors of course one can. Exited enough detectors
are by definition noisy and nobody can tell if two transitions are due
to the EM wave tripping two or whether one (or both) are noise.

We can only tell that on average the detector is best modelled by it
making quantum transitions. This is unsurprising given that detectors
are quantised.
