One can consider the duration of the full moon as a period of three days - this year -shahr ramadan- 14, 15 and 16th of July.
When one fasts these three days, then that is compatible with verse 2185.Verse 2185 states that the duration of a full moon is relevant for the length of the period of abstention.
- ... those of you who witness this full moon shall fast it ... -
The plural-form of the word days relating to the abstention mentioned in verse 2184 requires a number of more than two.
The duration of the full-moon illusion with at least 98% coverage is three days.Verse 2203 gives the only quranic example of the Arabic word -ma'doodat- mentioned in verse 2184 regarding the number of days of abstention, and refers to the number three as the prescribed duration of being present at the hadj as a standard number.
Persons who missed one or more days of the fast can complete this count until three another time in the year, verse 2185.Truthseeker

Peace, there was no full-moon illusion rather it was an ordinary looking white full moon.
Verse 2203 gives the only quranic example of the Arabic word -ma'doodat- mentioned in verse 2184 regarding the number of days of abstention, and refers to the number three as the prescribed duration of being present at the hadj as a standard number.
Persons who missed one or more days of the fast can complete this count until three another time in the year, verse 2185.2184 for days maddtin -- is relative which even a 100 or 1000 days is little compared to eternity.
324 ...they say, "Never will touch us the fire only days maddtin."

I share your observation that the full moon lasts about three days.
The word illusion was used because the moon is always round/full, independend if it can been seen on earth as round or full - not of importance.The word -ma'doodat- seems to indicate a few, three or around three, as can be read in verse 2203.
Verse 324 does not suggest that the number is structurally higher.
May be there can be a linkage with following
Bible - Matthew 1240- For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.-
The word -ma'doodat- is compatible with the duration of the full moon - three days.
