Using a standard prehung split jam door

A standard split jam is 4-9/16 inches. Will this jam expand out to 5-1/4 inches so I can use it with my plaster/2x4 wall? Special order 5-1/4 jam prehung doors are costly. Thanks in advance.

It is easy to add extensions to door jambs. Just make the pieces in the width you need and nail/glue them to the jamb. Careful alignment on the exposed side is important, does not matter on the hidden side.
