Look at documentation of ?layout. The "mat" argument determines the  
order in which the figures appear. The example code that talks about  
scatterplot with marginal histograms should show you how that works.

In other words, to the best of my knowledge, you specify in the call  
to layout in which order the new figures you create will be filling  
the layout.
