--y4 and so on.

Additional axes should be displayed also at left and at right of the plot, matching in colour of the data points.

Hi. This is something that gnuplot very explicitly does not support, so I cannot add it. You can suggest this feature to the gnuplot project, but I doubt it'll be implemented any time soon. Hope you can make do with what is available.

Do you know some workarounds? (including non-GNUplot-based)

The only one I know is pre-processing values, bringing them approximately to the same scale as other data line. But that is hacky and the result looks unprofessional.

Gnuplot cannot do this, but some other tools can. For instance:

http://matplotlib.org/examples/axes_grid/demo_parasite_axes2.html

I think that looks weird and unprofessional too, however, so in my mind
it's not really any better. If you find some perfect solution, tell me.
