Your various commands are fighting against each other.
The "set margin at screen" commands win.
The other size / layout commands are to help the program lay out
the plot automatically.  But when you say "set margin at screen XXX"
that overrides any automatic calculation and says 
"put the edge of the plot exactly there!".

Now there may well be some additional problem, either a bug in
the eepic driver or a bad interaction between other commands.

One thing I note is that the "set size" command probably isn't
having the effect you intended, since it comes after the 
"set term" command.   

The eepic terminal has recently gained a new option 
"set term eepic ... size XX,YY" to match other terminals,
but you don't have that available in version 4.4.2
