Alright, first off: do you have any expreience with either PICAXE or dot matrix displays?
This is definitely possible with a 28x2, there are plenty of I/O lines, but with an extra IC or 2 you could cut costs and use a 28x1 or (possibly - this is where my knowledge runs out) a 18x.
I'm currently working on a 7x5 matrix run by a PICAXE 18x and so far it works perfectly, but thats about the limit of the design I'm using. I believe that adding a shift register can simplify the project a great deal, but i can't say i've got any expreience with them...
