the phantasm in the singular, with its single object


Explanation:
I freely admit I have no idea what this means, not being a student of Lacan. But as the asker says, he does frequently use the concept of phantasm.

The second formula explicitly singles out the phantasm with its unique object


Explanation:
The context you quoted appears to be going from the general to the specific, that is, from the process of fragmentation to the formation of phantasms.

This article refers to the "object of the phantasm" which is why I used that word http://www.lacan.com/symptom6_articles/obsession-nameofsuper...
