Not a good idea -- he'd probably wind up with a lower R-value than if he just
used R-11 insulation of the proper size. It's not the fiberglass that provides
insulation, it's the *air* trapped in it. Squash the air out of it, and you're
reducing its ability to insulate.

or use
correctly sized insulation and cut the batts
into 2' lengths, and put them in sideways.

Lots of work, and lots of gaps where air can leak through. Better to just use
R-11 insulation of the proper size.
