Default Toilet - Round two pieces vs one piece toilet

If the room is already 'tiny' be careful with the elongated toilet. They do
stick into the room farther than a standard round model, so be sure that
things like doors open (both the door to the room and to cabinets and linen
closets). If they are already close to the bowl when you open them, they
are likely not to clear the elongated bowl. Also keep in mind that toilet
seats are somewhat more expensive for these, and if the wife likes to put
one of those fuzzy seat covers on the lid, these too are hard to find for
elongated seats.

I'm thinking to replace my standard round two pieces toilet in the
guest bathroom with one piece Briggs elongated toilet.

I don't know anything about this so please bear with me. The spare
bathroom is tiny. When the tile man removed the toilet to install the
tiles, there was a big nasty hole there. I'd like to know if the new
one piece would fit right in that hole.

How do I know for sure it will fit? Do I need to measure from the
center of the hole to the wall (yuck!)? Just don't want to carry that
thing home and it doesn't fit.

Thanks for all your input.
