Right now I bet the wires are just fed into those boxes with no clamps or anything to cover the sharp edges of the knock outs. When you do replace the boxes, make sure the new box has the proper wire clamps on it. I can't think of a reason they used two boxes other than that's what they happened to have on hand at the time.
I hate having to do drywall repair, so I personally would try to make a 4-gang fit as best as I could, but that's really just preference.
#Doublke gang plaster ring Patch
If you want to minimize the amount of patch work you do, you can just replace the two boxes with a 4-gang, but you't going to have some repair on the edges either way. That would leave one dimmer and one regular switch and those would both fit into a single 2-gang box. Based on what I can see with the wiring, you could attach all the lights to one dimmer (check the wattage rating on the dimmer, but you're going to replace the recessed lights with LEDs anyway, right?). You have 3 dimmer switches, so if you want to keep them (or combine all the recessed lights into one) you won't want to use any combo switches. Outside of verifying the switch can handle the load, what other things do I need to consider? Would it be simpler/easier to do this rather than replacing the whole thing with a 4 gang box? I read a few other similar questions but I'm not entirely sure if I can do this. So, I'm considering combining those 3 into a single switch. Three of the switches control recessed lighting in the room and we rarely turn on one without the others. Q2: One other idea I had was to combine some of the switches. Q1: Is it possible to replace the 2 gang boxes with a single 4 gang box? I'm hesitant to go down this path because my instincts tell me that there is a reason why someone did it like this. I tried initially to fix this by cutting a standard 2 device plate and positioning it next to a standard plate: However, I quickly realized that the 4 device wall plate will not cover this now that they are seated properly. To get things stabilized and provide a way to attach the wall plate, I installed 2 mud rings (shown in the picture). There is a stud on the left side of box 1 and a stud on the right side of box 2. It appears that 4 light switches were installed in 2 adjacent double gang boxes. When I did this, I found that the wall plate was being held on by paint alone. Recently I took a wall plate off a 4 switch box to paint the wall.
