I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm just saying there is not a huge risk involved.

They can be separated and if the owner and vet want to, go for it.
I personally don't see how splitting into three shots makes a lot of sense in most cases. The pup would have three times the injection sites, three times the preservatives, etc. But that doesn't mean it is wrong. Just personal preference.

I suppose OP could hold off til dog is older and hope for some weight gain, but that isn't without risks either.
ETA: If he isn't growing or there is any concern about liver function (b/c he is so small), you can always wait and bile acids test first. But then he wiill be at risk for parvo and distemper for much longer. So not something I can advise you on.
