Well, as the saying goes, don't do that then.  You're almost 
certainly  abusing multiplot here.  You can plot multiple datasets
in a single command without resorting to mulitplot.  It'll actually
make the job simpler, too.

The overdraws happen independent of the terminal driver --- only the
consequences would vary, since most drivers don't draw their text
antialiased.

If you absolutely have to use multiplot, turn off all decorations after 
the first one of them which you don't want output repeatedly.  You'll
probably have to fix the margins to avoid the layout changing halfway
down the road.
