Granite backsplahes holes for switchbox were cut a bit wide in some
spots; I can't seem to locate 4 gang decora style in either midway or
oversize in black. I could paint a grey midway to black but I don't
think the sheen would match very well. Any sources?


I would think, whoever makes the gray plate would also make a black one.
It
does not appear that Leviton makes one in midway or oversized, except in
the
screwless design. Model # SJ264-SE

I've never seen the screwless design; do they fit a regular carlon blue
plastic box, or is a special box or adapter required?


The link you posted is a 4 gang toggle plate, You are correct about what
decora is, and that aint it. The screwless plates have two pieces. The base
piece screws to the tapped holes on the switches, then to top, screwless
piece snaps on top. I'm not a real fan of them because they're about 1/4"
thick, but unless you're looking at them from the side, you don't tend to
notice, and they do have midway, and black. I just picked up a screwless 5
gang standard plate, and it cost $40, so be prepared
