The problem is that you are giving conflicting instructions. Your axes command is initially saying to make the boxes with the given proportions of the figure, regardless of the dimensions or aspect ratio of that figure; but setting the aspect is overriding that by requiring the boxes to be square. You can still get the behavior you want, however, by adding an anchor kwarg to each axes call. To make sure the boxes cluster together, add anchor='SE' to the upper left axes, anchor='SW' to the upper right, and 'NE' and 'NW' to the lower left and right, respectively.
