If you want to build a 2HP module and have jacks in it at all, that means
10.16mm horizontal spacing should two such modules be mounted side by
side.  It takes careful selection of the jacks because many have bodies
wider than that, and you probably wouldn't want to make the vertical
spacing equally tight, but it is a thing many designers do, and the market
tolerates it.
