where text.width is set to the largest (i.e. longest) text string in a 
vector of strings to be drawn on the legend, in combination with 
tweaking cex works fine, e.g.

plot(...)

legend(30,0.375,legend=c("Male (n=162)","Female (n=976)"), 
col=c("blue","red"),lty=1,cex=0.8,text.width=strwidth("Female 
(n=976)"))

Thanks muchly
