One big and two small plots in multiplot gnuplot

I am trying to plot three different plots on the same canvas using the multiplot mode of gnuplot (version 5.0.1)

I want an arrangement of these plots in a particular way: final plot should show 2 rows with plot A in the upper row while plots B and C should appear in the lower row side-by-side as if for a lower row we had something like:

"set multiplot layout 1,2"

How can this be achieved? Thanks in advance

you need to do the multiplot with the most "refined" grid, in this case 2x2 and then specify the size of each plot. 

set multiplot layout 2,2
set size 1,0.5 # the first one has to be larger
plot sin(1*x)
set multiplot next # we want to skip the second (upright position)
set size 0.5,0.5 # the second and third have to be 0.5x0.5 
plot sin(2*x)
plot sin(3*5)
unset multiplot

or as suggested here https://stackoverflow.com/a/15906085/2743307 it might be simpler to do it upwards (6 lines instead of 8!) but you have to specify the plots in opposite order:

set multiplot layout 2,2 upwards
plot sin(3*x)
plot sin(2*x)
set size 1,0.5
plot sin(1*x)
unset multiplot
