Hi Ron, 
You did not mention the platform you are using. On linux (I guess
this is true for other platforms using the XWindows system), you
can chose it by putting in the ~/.Xresources file a line like:
gnuplot*geometry:  1100x620
 (that is what I am using. Pick the size that suits you).

The new size enters into effect after (re)starting X.

Cheers, Avraham
