[R] define absolute size in plots ... possible?

I am sorry – one of my plots was actually set up with mfrow.
But the documentation actually explains the change in cex when using mfrow;

"In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of "cex" is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66.”
