Are you referring to the labebar? If so: lbOrientation = "vertical"
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/lb.shtml#lbOrientation

> 2. Is there any way to dictate the size of the image?

Yes, by using vpWidthF and vpHeightF (
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/vp.shtml

note that vpXF and vpYF dictate where on the page the plot is drawn.

gsnPaperOrientation = "landscape"
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/gsn.shtml#gsnPaperOrientation
gsnMaximize = True
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Graphics/Resources/gsn.shtml#gsnMaximize

Good luck!
