The adapter would actually only need to be 1 brick wide, so the corridor
connectors would only need to be 1 brick back than usual. A 2-brick wide
connector could then be used to connect two wide-corridor modules, cutting
down on the need for parts. Anyone using the wide-corridor design would
need to bring their own adapters if they want theirs to be connected with
the narrow design.
To give a better example of what I'm talking about, I have made some new
MLCAD renderings of the wider corridor:

It's a little bit different than my origional design, but it requires less
parts for adapters and allows more space for the moonbase. The only
problems I can see happening with this design is not in the design itself,
but with people not paying attention to standards. And cats. Cats seem to
be capable of mass destruction. I have to rebuild one of my moonbases
because of them. :p
