You'll find a lot of choices as well as clever ideas for covering the hole in your wall.
What if I have a large hole in the wall on one side of a single light switch? Is there a way to cover that without an oversized plate?
Use 2-gang or 3-gang plates with a single opening next to blanks to cover up a hole in the drywall that's only on one side of the box.
Plates can be rotated to cover a hole in the sheetrock that is on the left or right side of the switch.
If there is any wall surface under the blank slot screw holes, screw the plate to the wall.
If there is not anything to screw the blank screw holes to, use nuts behind the plate to hold the screws in place and only screw the cover into the device itself.
Other Specialty Switch Plate Solutions
The larger plate you need may be a deep plate rather than oversized.
Deep plates will fix gaps behind plates, ranging rom 1/8" to 1/2".
Gaps underneath outlet covers can be caused by protruding electrical wall boxes or by large bukly GFCI devices.
Deep plates are the most aethetically pleasing way to fix a gap, but not every configuration is available.
Depth rings can also be stacked underneath your covers to fix gaps in increments of 1/8".
If your electrical outlet or other device is sunken down in the cover, lift the device forward in the box with spacers.
Spacers sit under switches or sockets and bring them forward to sit flush with the cover plate. They are stackable and 1/8" each.
