Penalties aren't that common that shrinking the size of the box would benefit keepers.

In last season's Premier League, there were 86 penalties in 380 matches 23%
In Bundesliga, there were 83 in 306 matches 27%
In La Liga, there were 109 in 380 matches 29%
In Serie A, there were 132 in 380 matches 35%
World Cup 2010 there were 15 in 64 matches 23%

1 out of 3 to 1 out of 5 decided by PKs

take into account how many matches are 0-0
then how many matches are 1 goal differentials ie 1-2, but the second goal was a PK awarded in the 5th min of the game off a dive at the edge of the box.
