Maybe we need to start an open-source SIP project.
I think you should be able to do this with ripboard as its default landscape keyboard is full width. The keyboard layout is in a customisable ini file (not the easiest interface!), but I haven't tried to edit it yet. I'd rather be able to do something in my own app really.
