the following:

I understand how the GFCI works and how it should be wired, but in this
case, it's unimportant. The existing receptacle to be expanded to two
is downstream from the GFCI and protected by it.

My question is, when I install the two-gang box and the second
receptacle, do I need to pigtail the hot feeds to both outlets or can I
wire them in series (i.e. the hot/neutral from one receptacle feeds the
second receptacle)?


Don't know if it is code, but I would just connect the hot to hot, and
neutral to neutral (plus ground), from one outlet to the other. I don't
see how using a pigtail would be any different, other than using more
space in the box (for wire nuts). You're just making the same
connections at a different location.
