Is a humbucker the same size as 2 singles?

To do the multi single coil in a humbucker size route, you probalby need to use pickups like EMGs...like these...

a normal pickup wouldn't be able to fit because of the base plate.. like these...

you would need reverse wound pickups to place at the bridge and the neck. you could mount the two single coils with the widest part of the base plates facing away from each other as well. getting the right pickups to reduce hum in the right positions would be a pain in the ass.

Rio Grande makes a pickup, forget the model, which is 2 full size single coils wired as a humbucker. I've got one which I had in the bridge of a tele style project and it sounds great split. If you're into metal tones it's probably not the best choice as the humbucker sound has a snappier response than most.
