Andrea, you have TWO problems.
The first is to scale your offset according to your axes range. This can be done using ax.get_data_ratio(). In your case you will get 5, and this factor should enhance your vertical offset wrt. the horizontal. (Or, use .get_xlim() and .get_ylim() and do the computations yourself). The second problem is that your FIGURE scales your plot visually, independently of your axes, so without special scaling it will have different aspects according to your manipulation. An arbitrary affine transform will keep straight lines parallel, but no chance with arbitrary curves. You may play with fig.get_figwidth(), etc., but here my digging stops. Good luck.
