Maybe it helps you, that if you use a tag for the fixed-position ylabel, 
then you do not have to unset it before setting a new one:

set label 1 'ylabel' left at screen 0.05, graph 0.5 rotate by 90
set label 1 'ylabel' center at screen 0.05, graph 0.5 rotate by 90

sets only one label.

I think the syntax of 'set lmargin' is simple enough, although it is not 
intuitive, that this is the way to get a fixed plot size. One could 
expect that 'set size' does something like that, but it does not and it 
does not have any reference to 'set margin'. I will propose an addition 
to the documentation for that.
