Default Writing a Custom Software Input Panel
http://blogs.msdn.com/marcpe/archiv.../10/370341.aspx

Microsoft's Marcus Perryman has posted on his blog a sample project to demonstrate building a custom Software Input Panel (SIP) for Pocket PC. To build the code you will need at least eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP2. Using this technique you can plug in your own methods alongside the standard Keyboard, Letter and Block recognisers.

Is there any way i can have a letter recognizer, but in the numbers area, number buttons? Keyboard for numbers and recognizer for letters. It would be much faster. Also, can it be a little smaller? It takes to much screen space.

To do that you would more or less have to write the recogniser part yourself since there isn't a way to pick and choose from both but I can see the advantages of your request.
HTC ship an intersting custom input panel with the Magician (iMate Jam) which is a large format numberical/t9 pad.

Is there any chance that one could be implemented in .net? I've written com addins in .net but not on the Compact Framework. How would one go about it?

Not solely in .NET because the Compact Framework v1.0 doesn't have COM interop. But you could write a SIP with a combination of c++ and managed code but that would get quite complex.
