Can this pad be folded in half lengthwise before rolling?
I'd rather carry something that is less wide in my gear so if it could be ~10-11 inches wide and a bit fatter around I'd prefer that.

You can do that with this pad. If you get the regular obviously the size would be less and I would personally fold it in half and roll it up. If it's a large, I think you would have a too fat pad to contend with. The best way to roll it up is to get as much air out as possible on the first roll up. I would roll it up without folding it first, close the valve, unroll it, and then fold in half and roll it up. I would then use velcro straps or nylon webbing to keep it small.
