The only tomatoes that I've had grow "normal" are cherry tomatoes. You situation sound like how mine grow.
However, I have been told that if I pinch off the smaller 2 of the cluster the larger will grow to a traditional size. I generally ended up damaging the "survivor", so I quit doing that.

You think you've seen everything, than something new crops up! My tomatoes are growing in clusters of three....each a different size! Has anyone else had this happen? Should this be considered normal?
