Hmmmm, what type of sealing method did you have in mind to need that much side wall? Remember included in that 2" is a 67.5mil side wall. Also don't forget that this is at the thinnest point of the side wall, where the center axis of the spiral is. That would increase as you moved away from the center axis, steadily increasing until in the "corners" of the 2x2 spiral area you would have about 350mils per side. You could also put a raised edge on it and then put a raised center section in the lid to insure a good seal.
Attached is a modified version of Scythe's block idea to show what I am trying to communicate. (Note that the exit fittings would be moved inside of the recessed area, just didn't take that much time with the pic modification, lol).
