Plasterwall, but need spars?

I will plaster a wall after the aftermath of the staircase installation to the sleeping loft. I do not want to box in the horizontal studs like a box, but instead it should be a smooth wall. I was thinking of installing battens on the wall to reach the same level as the studs, but since the contractors have cut holes in the existing drywall, the studs stick out 45-13 = 32mm and regular battens are 28mm. A 4mm height difference feels a bit much... Does anyone know of other standard wood that can be used that is 32mm, or should I go through the trouble of screwing a piece of hardboard strips onto regular battens to reach ~31.2mm (28 + 3.2mm)? If I am to install battens, should I have vertical or horizontal drywall (battens vertical or horizontal)? The wall width is 184cm. Another reason for extending is also to simplify electrical wiring for various lamps we will have on that wall to illuminate the staircase below.
