[R] multiple plots problem

That's expected behaviour: you asked for three plots to be present on
your canvas.

Two possible solutions - depending on what exactly you'd like to get:

Increase the size of the layout matrix to squeeze more plots on the
canvas or open a new device whenever you want a new window.
