It's possible for a write to span one or more blocks -- it just depends on the write address/size and the RBD image layout (object size, "fancy" striping, etc). Regardless, however, RBD cannot provide any ordering guarantees when two clients are writing to the same image at the same extent. To safely use two or more clients concurrently on the same image you need a clustering filesystem on top of RBD (e.g. GFS2) or the application needs to provide its own coordination to avoid concurrent writes to the same image extents.
