You should try that with the Num5 centered on the "K" key.
That will keep you from having to move your hands, when swapping between alphas and numbers, which is really nice.
I've gotten so used to that now, I actually get annoyed when I have to move my hands over 4 whole keys, on the alternate layout I use for gaming, with the numpad pushed all the way to the right, overlaying the right hand modifiers.

For anyone else wanting to do this, make sure you use the number row keycodes, instead of the numpad keycodes.
That will let you access all the shifted characters, from the number row, on the numpad.

That feels good! I was thinking the space bar feels like 0 on my 10key, but not having to move feels so much better!

And yeah,I have the number row mapped to utilize the symbols. Trying make this thing as streamlined as possible

Streamlining was my goal as well.
More specifically, I wanted to be able to type an entire address without moving any finger more than one key from its home position, and I accomplished that with the layout I posted there.

I went just a bit bigger than you, on the case, because my secondary goal was to avoid muscle memory conflicts, given that I have to use other people's keyboards/computers quite frequently.
My layout feels "mostly normal", when compared to the 60% portion of a standard keyboard, so I don't have to fight muscle memory on other people's equipment.
