Will the 4 11/16 inch boxes fit 4 1/2 inch "standard" switchplate covers or is there a gap?

You will need a raised cover for switches, in size 4 -11/16"

what kind of cover does this take? I saw an an answer below, but what does that mean? is there a specific hole pattern?

You need something like "4-11/16 in. Steel Metallic 2-Gang 2-Device 1/2 in. Raised Square Cover" Raco 841 which is a cover with a raised-edge opening that holds 2 outlet/switches/devices. The raised edge is so you can run drywall right up to the opening edge. A blank cover would be "4-11/16 in. Steel Metallic 2-Gang Flat Blank Square Cover" Raco 832SP
