Thanks for the screen shot. This is actually close to what v1.0+ was
meant to look like. Before v1.0, the keyboard used to stretch from side
to side even on 21:9 monitors, for an awfully distorted appearance. Now
there is an upper limit for the aspect ratio change, i.e. by (Ubuntu)
default, for the given height it won't use more width than you see in
the image.
Maybe this aspect limit is set too low and we should allow for more
distortion, but I think the real problem is that there isn't enough
vertical space for the keyboard. The height is controlled by unity-
greeter.
What you can do now is to manually change the range of allowed aspect ratios.
Create the file
/etc/onboard/onboard-defaults.conf
and add the lines
[main]
xembed-aspect-change-range=[0, 1.6]
If it's still too small for typing then increase the upper limit "1.6"
further. Let me know what you settled on.
The Ubuntu default is currently
xembed-aspect-change-range=[0, 1.15]

Title:
Onboard too small in unity-greeter
Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the login screen (unity-greeter) the onboard only use fraction of
the horizontal space. This is a regression to previews releases
(0.99), since keys became very small and it is hard to type the
password.
