First, I'm afraid we have to clarify some terminology.  You mix up 
"fitting" with "interpolation".  Those are two different things.

I don't think gnuplot has any interpolator that will generate a closed 
curve.  You'll have to look elsewhere, or roll your own.

If at all, you might succeed by using 'table' output mode to calculate 
and save individually interpolated curves per input column, then join 
those back together externally, and plot the result.  Even this will 
still not have a truly cyclic set of boundary conditions (i.e. the curve 
won't close nicely).
