Can ball pythons be housed together?

I do not, the post was mostly about looking for a vet asap. Is there a certain size cage or amount of hides that would prevent this? And if the goal is to allow the snakes plenty of space away from each other to avoid such an injury or issue, wouldn't it simply be best to house them apart?

In theory a large enough enclosure and a surplus of food would prevent this. I don't think you see them together in burrows (most of the time). To house two snakes you're going to need 10x the enclosure space which is why it's not recommended except for experienced keepers trying an experiment.
