Comment(by garycmartin):

 Vietnamese, and two of the Chinese layouts (neither of the Chinese layouts
 currently are deployable due to their need for a external glyph
 composition engine) are the only layouts that have the extra row of keys,
 all others have the same height. Having poked at the xml I think the
 Vietnamese layout is not very standard and could be improved to a standard
 height layout in a future cycle.

 However if this is considered important just now, a main.ini and .xml
 configuration change could be added for these layouts to set a smaller
 custom key height for these specific keyboards – this should make the
 height a close match (but likely not 100% the same).
