Need to read a bit further down below the 'mfrow' and 'mfcol' arguments in par, 
specifically until you get to 'mfg':

library(Hmisc)    
  par(mfrow=c(3,1) )    
  plot(1:10, 1:10, main = "Plot 1")
      subplot(plot(10,10, xlab="", ylab=""), x=2, y=8, size = c(0.5, 0.5) )
  par(mfg=c(2,1) ); plot(11:20, 11:20, main = "Plot 2")
      subplot(plot(10,10, xlab="", ylab=""), x=12, y=18, size = c(0.5, 0.5)
  )
  par(mfg=c(3,1)); plot(21:30, 21:30, main = "Plot 3")
      subplot(plot(10,10, xlab="", ylab=""), x=22, y=28, size = c(0.5, 0.5)
  )

I suspect that the subplot manipulations of par settings are the cause of the 
problem. It is restoring the mfg pointer.
