Here's an example of how you can avoid overlapping the plots.

clf
r = 3;
c = 3;
fmt = {'horizontalalignment', 'center', 'verticalalignment', 'middle'};
for n = 1:(r*c)
  subplot (r, c, n)
  xlabel (sprintf ("xlabel #%d", n))
  ylabel (sprintf ("ylabel #%d", n))
  title (sprintf ("title #%d", n))
  text (0.5, 0.5, sprintf('(%d,%d,%d)', r, c, n), fmt{:})
  axis ([0 1 0 1])
endfor

dx = 1/(10*r);
dy = 1/(10*c);
hax = findobj (gcf, "type", "axes");
for n = 1:numel(hax)
  set (hax(n), "position", get (hax(n), "position") + [dx,dy,-2*dx,-2*dy]);
endfor

Another option is to change the font size. This can be done by ...

        set (findall (gcf, "-property", "fontsize"), "fontsize", 8)
