The reason for the main breaker in this "pass through" box as you put it, is if there is an emergency, then it only takes one motion of the hand to completely disconnect ALL current carrying conductors to your main panel. No other breakers should occupy this box because as you installed a half breaker - one circuit will still be live, NOT disconnected. Now you got to remember when you shut off the main there'll still be a hot circuit feeding out of it.
