Would it be possible (in practice) for [math]\phi[/math] in the equation [math]\phi=\int{B\,dA}[/math] to be anything but a whole number?

Not just possible, but a certainty !

 

Or by chance are you getting confused with the flux through a superconductor in the Abrikosov phase? That will always be an whole number multiple of h/2e.

Oh, but if the units you are using are the least count (or resolution) of your fluxmeter, then you can only measure whole number units of flux.
