The "layout" option in multiplot is for the specific purpose of
blocking out equal size fractions of the canvas, which is apparently
not what you want.  How about

set multiplot
set size ratio 1.0
set lmargin at screen 0.05
set bmargin at screen 0.05
set rmargin at screen 0.40
set tmargin at screen 0.40
plot 'left.dat'
set size ratio 1.0/1.33
set rmargin at screen 0.95
set lmargin at screen 0.95 - 1.33*(0.35)
set bmargin at screen 0.05
set tmargin at screen 0.40
plot 'left.dat'
unset multiplot

There may well be simpler ways, but I'm not clear on exactly
what arrangement you want.
