The suggestion that the one consciousness could inhabit more than one physical

is not localized to a single physical body, that it is non-local, for instance.
Or, indeed, that physics is not fundamental but derivative on consciousness.

This reminds me of Schroedinger. “The doctrine of identity can claim that it
is clinched by the empirical fact that consciousness is never experienced in
the plural, only in the singular. Not only has none of us even experienced more
than one consciousness, but there is no trace of circumstantial evidence of
this even happening anywhere in the world” (much more in "What is Life?")
But the question isn't whether the Helsinki man experiences two
consciousnesses, it's whether he experiences one consciousness of two
locations. You can already be conscious of two locations via
television; it's just that your consciousness of one of the places is
very limited because you get only visual perception of it and you can't
act on it.
