I assume you want the geometry of gnuplot windows changed, not the
size of the terminal where octave runs.

gnuplot honors .Xresources file, so you can add
gnuplot*geometry: 1024x768
gnuplot*background: black
lines to it, then run "xrdb ~/.Xresources" or restart X11 and you done.
(see "man gnuplot" for more details)
I do not recommend changing background to black though -- you would need
to change all other defaults to get a readable plots.
Other options is to put into .octaverc
gnuplot_binary="/path/to/mygnuplot"
where "mygnuplot" is the name of the simple shell script
#!/bin/sh
gnuplot -bg black -geometry 1024x768
This way you do not need to mess with X11.
You would need to restart octave for changes to this file
to take effect.
