Yes, it's a nice solution.

it is not really the job of plot2d() to put legends, despite its leg=.. 
parameter.
legends() (and legends_multicolumn() on fileexchange) allow to place
the bloc of legends anywhere on the figure, without any clipping out of the
data_bounds of the active axes.
Yes, using subplot() can be helpful, or more simply increasing by hand the
chosen margin of the axes where to put the legends:
clf, plot2d()
ax = gca(); ax.margins(2)=0.3;

Samuel
