The physical size of the fuse IS important when you are considering
spark-gaps etc, which is what caused the dramatic failure in this case.

Incorrect. What is important in this respect is the breaking
capacity of the fuse. Different designs of fuse, with the same
physical dimensions, are able to reliably break different currents.
The same is true of different designs of miniature circuit breaker.
