Perhaps what you want is a plot command like the following:

   do for [timepoint in "1 2 3 4 5 6"] {

      file = 'plotdata.'.timepoint
      splot for [type=1:7] file using 1:2:3:(column(4+type)):type \
            with points pt 5 pointsize variable lc variable 

   }

That will draw a set of colored squares in 3D where the color of the
square indicates the "kind" of people in your data and the size of 
the square is proportional to the number in that column of the data file.
The outer loop redraws the plot for the data file corresponding
to each timepoint.

You could repeat each plot command using "with impulses" rather than
"with points"
