You could customize the layout you use. For example, follow this guide, replacing the default "spacebarRow" of say the English layout with one where you make the space be bigger.

example:

 /* SpacebarRow {} */

     KeyboardRow {
        SymbolKey {
            width: symbolKeyWidthNarrow
            separator: false
        }

        CharacterKey {
            caption: ","
            captionShifted: ","
            width: punctuationKeyWidthNarrow / 2
            fixedWidth: true
            separator: false
        }

        SpacebarKey {
            fixedWidth: true
            width: symbolKeyWidthNarrow * 2.25
            separator: false
        }

        CharacterKey {
            caption: "."
            captionShifted: "."     
            width: punctuationKeyWidthNarrow / 2
            fixedWidth: true
            separator: false
        }

        EnterKey {
            separator: false
        }
    }

A better route of course would be to have the spacebar expand to fill left over space as this solution only looks decent in portrait.
