What is the ruling when the condition involves 'every time' (kullama) regarding eating a whole fruit versus eating half a fruit?

Primary text
If the condition is stated using the repetitive particle 'kullama' such that one says, 'Every time you eat a pomegranate, you are divorced,' and 'Every time you eat half a pomegranate, you are divorced,' and the person eats a whole pomegranate, three divorces occur. This is because 'kullama' implies repetition; the whole pomegranate contains two halves, so eating it results in two divorces based on the halves, and an additional divorce based on eating the whole fruit.
