Just for sake of argument, when looking at it from this angle, EM particles could exist and we lack the ability to emit a single one? But then why would these "single photon" double slit problems not split the particle bunch further?

I honestly don't know, that is my question as well.

However note that we can only perturb the em field in photon sized energy levels, and we can only pick up disturbances of the em field in photon sized bunches as well. Not sure what this implies for how em field energy is accumulated on electrons in order for us to detect it.
