I don't know of a good way other than by using X resources or the
gnuplot command line.  Something like this

  octave:13> gnuplot_binary = "gnuplot -geometry 300x200"

should work if it is set before any other plotting commands are
issued.

I don't know of a way to change the size of an existing plot other
than by resizing with the mouse or some other window manager command.
