One question for further understanding: Does the publisher want all the
sub-plots separately or the whole multiplot array as a single .eps?

If the former, then I would generate the subplots as separate .eps files
(e.g. by putting a set output "fig1a", set output "fig1b" etc. before
each plot command) and submit them together with the manuscript as a
tarball. For the reviewer you can fit them together with multiplot.

In the latter case (i.e. all-in-on) I would just use multiplot. BTW did
you consider the explicit positioning via set {r,l,t,b}margin screen
{coordinates}? This allows you exact seamless fitting of the subplots
without bothering with set size and set origin.


Best wishes,
