You have to frame in the sides to get the rough opening you need. Filling
half the distance on a side is generally better appearing than filling only
one side unless it is made to be a "feature". Sounds like all you need is a
couple of 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 studs, some more sheetrock for the inside and a
cover for the outside to match or nicely trim what is there.
