Default GFCI centered in a double wide box, is this possible?

I'm assuming that what you have, is a 4 inch square box (1900) and the GFCI
is mounted to the cover which has two screws attaching it to the box. You
can get 1900 boxes with a side bracket to attach to the side of a stud,
flush with the front of the stud, you then attach a single gang to 1900
reducing cover for 1/2 inch thickness sheetrock or whatever thickness you
need, then the GFCI screws to that adapter, and a standard flush cover goes
on top

I only see this for exposed wiring. I want to put it in the wall like
regular not exposed wiring. Presumably I would need some sort of
adapter and the appropriate walplate. Am I missing something or is
this just not done? I really don't want to try to cram a GFCi into a
regular sized box.
