I've only seen it perpetrated with 1U switches, a situation that usually results in my lapsing into Russian....
2U seems possible (can't say for certain) but larger, seems like you'd have a fair chance of being able to make something work since you can at least get your hands where they need to be... unless you can't find a ladder.
(For the record, my knowledge of Russian is limited to those words that Latvian carpenters reserve for hammers that aim at thumbs. :)
