The text in your \makebox{}  command is processed by LaTeX,
and is formatted according to the current LaTeX environment.
Unless you have created some custom environment, it will
ignore newlines.  Possibly it would accept a \linebreak command,
but I doubt it.

If you want gnuplot to format the text for you, then don't
use the latex terminal.  Instead use the postscript/eps or
the pdf terminal, and include the whole figure (plot + labels)
in the LaTeX document.
