1. Nice posting -- Your little diagram makes your question crystal clear.

2. Murrell's new book, R GRAPHICS, is a comprehensive resource on grid, if
you decide you want to do more with it.

3. See also ?par ... new=TRUE  for a (less flexible, but perhaps adequate
for your needs) way to do this in R's traditional graphics system.

Cheers,
Bert
