It is *possible*, but it is probably would be an incredible amount of work
(unless someone knows of some nifty trick that I am not aware of). My
suggestion to make things appear more "even" is to adjust the position of
the ylabels in the second column to that it takes up more room between the
first two columns.
The hard way would be to manually specify the extents in the "position"
kwarg [left, bottom, width, height] for the constructor of the axes object.
The values for those four parts would be in the coordinate system of the
figure object.
I hope that is helpful,
