Is there a way to remove the period that is next to the space bar on the keyboard?

Yes. This x 1000. I hate the damn thing.
Even on the iPhone 6p, I feel like the space bar is still way too small.
My google searches look something like this:
how.do.I.make the.spacebar bigger.on.my iPhone
I wish there were an option to do this.

There are indeed quite a few 3rd party keyboards out there since iOS8. See a huge list here maybe one or more have the feature you are looking for. I just checked a part of the list and most of the 3rd party keyboards also have the dot next to the space bar but there are options out there.
Here are a few options:
Touchpal optional full access rights (link) - not needed, although many features like language switching and themes need the full access to read the language data and themes from the settings app
This keyboard has also a swipe feature.
Minuum | (temporary) 1,99 dollar | optional full access rights, you can reject and still use it except for audio and to remember user keyboard customization preferences it needs full access
I wouldn't allow full access for a 3rd party keyboard, but there are keyboards out there which do not need it and still are a great keyboard alternative.

I'm coming from the 4S and never had this problem. Now on the 6+ it happens ALL.the.time! It's very annoying and I really would rather not give a third-party keyboard developer access to everything I type on my phone. Oh well, it's a pretty small problem to have, but I share your pain.
Does Google typically interpret those properly anyway (or offer the right interpretation)?
The problem is that this keyboard is only located within Safari's address bar. Everywhere else, the spacebar is wider and the period key is not present. Muscle memory has me hitting that damn period every time I use Safari to do a google search.
You don't need to give third-party keyboards full access. As i posted earlier. I mentioned two keyboards which still work perfectly although you reject their full access.
And full access isn't really generally what most people think it implies actually.
