It's not like new instances are being created for each event, more like there are preexisting worlds for each instance of the "collective event". The branches aren't being formed as we speak, they exist already and instances of us are following these various branches along the way based on some predetermined pattern.
So, what's the smallest possible unit of time?
I don't know, and not sure what point you're making. I don't think there is a limit if the universe/cosmos itself is continuous. In this local universe at least, there seems to be some limits indicating it's discrete (maybe), but this says nothing about beyond in terms of continuousness.
