Can you use a rough opening for a prehung interior door that is only 1 34 wider than the door itself?

Sure you can, as long as its 1 3/4" bigger uniformly top to bottom. 2 "s is ideally better since with the extra width you can tilt the door to allow for out of plumb openings, but as long the opening is plumb, or if not, you don't care that it's not perfectly plumb, then go for it! You're just going to have a little less room to play with.

How do you measure exterior frame door width?
You are supposed to measure the "rough" opening. This is distance from the studs that line the door opening. (not from the door frame itself) Top to bottom then from side to side. If you already have a door there and are just replacing it then you can just measure the door and get one of the same size. Good luck.
