A 142mm hub isn't wider than a 135mm hub at the spoke lacing.
No, this depends on the manufacturer and product line. The Shimano R7000 series sibling models discussed here are wider at the spoke lacing for the 142mm version. Check the values in the spoke calc screenshots.
A lazier manufacturer can certainly keep the shell the same. Do your research before purchasing.
