I'm not sure I understand your question. The way I use gnuplot, I would have 
expected the following (I will use the word "canvas" for the output medium, 
it could be an X window, or a sheet of paper. I think this is equivalent to 
the "screen" coordinate system in gnuplot):

"set multiplot": tells the plot command that the canvas shouldn't be cleared 
before the plot.

"set size xscale, yscale": tells the plot command that the whole plot should 
be scaled in x- and y-direction. "set size 1,1" means using the whole canvas.

"set origin x,y": tells the plot command to shift the plot by (x,y), where 
(0,0) is the bottom left and (1,1) is the top right corner of the canvas.

If I wanted to change the canvas size (for example, the resolution of a bitmap 
plot, or the paper size), I would expect this to be done using "set terminal 
<whatever> <canvas size>".
