here is what I'm working with

so you're telling me to bridge the inside of the frame, essentially make a perimeter, with 2x4's. Than take some 1x10 or 1x12 and lay that over top just to make the gap smaller (all the way around of course). wrap the gap all the way around with a rubber/neoprene, (which in your case you used shower pan, which I think my buddy has some of that I could probably use) and caulk all the seams?

I am assuming you said to put the extra 2x4's up just for added support of the 1x10's.

So if I go ahead and get that all taken care of, I could hypothetically build my frame over top of that, install the windows, and not have to worry about moisture ever getting in between the windows because it will be its own completely sealed box?

Thats what I got from your post. If thats what you meant, I like it. It makes perfect sense.
