Could go either way. Eat 90 grams of protein at one meal, there's a higher insulin and blood glucose rise. But it's probably over sooner, in three or four hours, (maybe 5 or 6, depending on the protein), you're back in the fasted state. Or you could spread the protein out over the course of the day--and have lower, but over-lapping peaks, and spend much of the day in the fed state, with insulin and glucose both elevated.
There are studies with carb containing meals, generally 6 meals doesn't seem to be better than 3 meals. But if you go as far as 17 meals at the same calorie intake, blood glucose does improve considerably.
With just protein, no carbs, the numbers are a lot smaller though, it might not take nearly as many meals.
With rodents, whey protein makes an otherwise fattening diet less fattening, when it replaces caseine. It does give a higher postprandial rise in insulin, but their fasting insulin is lower. Return to baseline insulin after a feeding also happens sooner with whey than with caseine.
Fat slows down stomach emptying, this might sort of blur the difference between a few large meals and a bunch of small ones.
