As a general rule for everybody here, I would suggest one of the first
places you should always look when attempting a new plot with PLplot
is http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php followed up by clicking
on the thumbnail of any example which might be of interest to get
access to the source code that generated the example as well as
clickable thumbnails for all pages of the example (if there is more
than one such page then http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php
only gives a sample thumbnail corresponding to just one of the pages
of such examples).

@Dan: Thanks for your interest in using PLplot.  Is the first demo
plot in http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples.php similar to what you
had in mind?  That shows 4 plots on the page but different
arrangements of multiple plots per page are allowed. If you follow up
as suggested above by looking at the code you might notice a reference
to plssub documented at
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.9.9/plssub.html.

Also look for references to plssub in
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/docbook-manual/plplot-html-5.9.9/viewport_window.html
to see how sub-pages fit into the overall scheme of view surfaces,
(sub-)pages, viewports and windows that is used to help specify
overall plot locations by PLplot.
