I've seen them, and even bought them, like for camping. At home, a
kitchen knife or my trusty pocket knife will make the egg carton any
size I want (although if you cut out the tabs, it won't stay closed
without stacking something on top). I do this mostly when I need to
squeeze something into the fridge, although if I go camping by myself I
might cut an egg carton. You might try asking your grocer. They may
let you cut a carton in half. They may not, since it will raise havoc
with the bar code. They'll have to key in each half separately.
