According to:
image = should come before the 6, however when using xkb the 6 comes first. To fix this in /keycodes/evdev, replace

xkb_keycodes "pc105wide-rightpart" {

    <AE12> =  16;	// =	<  7

with

xkb_keycodes "pc105wide-rightpart" {

   <AE12> =  15;	// =	<  6
   <AE06> =  16;        // 6    <  7

That's SteveP's take on the Wide mod. I disagree, and keep it like several split keyboards are made with the 6 on the left hand. With standard row stagger, the stretch to the 6 is ≈1/4 key less this way too.

You found out how to make it the way you want it, so that's nice! For Windows/EPKL, I've included the 6-to-the-right variant because variants are very easily implemented there, but for XKB I found that including all possible variants gets very messy to maintain, so unfortunately I've left stuff like that out. Maybe in the future I'll put it in nevertheless.

Sorry, didn't realise the change was intentional.
