The code below works:

> a = [1,2,3]; b = [-1,-2,-3];c = [5,6,7]; d=[-5,-6,-7]  
> p = Vector(2)  
> p[1] = plot([a b])  
> p[2] = plot([c d])  
> plot(p[1], p[2], layout=(1,2))

But, for 8 graphs, for example, the last line gets long

> plot(p[1], p[2], p[3], p[4], p[5], p[6], p[7], p[8], layout=(4,2))

How can I make it shorter?

`plot(p..., layout=(4,2))`
