So the only big story that doesn’t make one a fundamentalist is that there are many small stories?

I think "one big story" means "one central, axiomatic" story. Ie "there are many small stories" violates the "one big story" principle

But isn’t the lack of a single big story actually a big story in itself? Genuinely asking.

No, that would reduce the notion of a story to vacuity. It's more an epistemic principle/condition/assumption.
