Panel plot with 2 distinct plot sizes for 9 panels

Hi-
I am using gsn_panel to plot 8 maps on a 9 panel plot.
The primary issue is that the middle 3 plots (x4,x5,x6) are 1 size ( no
color bar so they are larger) while the others are another size (they have a
color bar and are smaller).
x1 x2 x3
x4 x5 x6
x7 x8
To further complicate this, the 1st 3 plots have 1 color bar, while the last
2 plots each have their own color bar.

I read the panel plot page but have not made any progress. About the only
thing that "worked" was adding white space in both X and Y, which just
shrunk the plots. This made the 3 bigger images OK, but the others were too
small.

I also tried scaling to the member x4 since it is bigger, but there is still
considerable overlap.

I have tried to specify the vpXF and vpYF, along with the vpHeightF and
vpWidthF resources when I make the individual plots, but when I look to see
what gsn_panel did (via gsnPanelDebug) but the changes did not stick.

So it appears I have to use the method employed in panel_20.ncl to make this
work. Are there any options I am overlooking?
Thanks
