Nope. Trouble is the wiring wouldn't all fit in a normal box. Not to
mention potential issues of heat from four loads.

While it doesn't come without some "work", replacing a single gang box with
a double really isn't all that hard to do. The biggest challenge being if
the wiring's old, but even then it's not that difficult. A sawzall type
reciprocating saw helps get the old box disconnected from the adjacent stud.
Then just use a remodel box, the blue plastic ones with the 'ears' that grab
the back of the wall to secure it.
