As pointed out by some users (and recently also by @rhettinger), the language specification does not have the concept of "small statement". Check the heading of https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#simple-statements:

A simple statement is comprised within a single logical line. Several simple statements may occur on a single line separated by semicolons.

I think is more natural that the grammar refers to a group of these as "simple statements" and then what we currently call "small statement" is just a "simple statement" as per the language reference docs.
