Matrix Control pushes out Graphs on Report

I have a report with multiple graphs below each other (some bar, some line, some pie)
To the left of each graph, I have a few text boxes and tables tables displaying information about each graph to the right. (fits on A4 portait page)
For lack of being able to display a pic:
Table Graph
_______ ________________________________
| | | |
| | | |
|______ | |_______________________________|
_______ ________________________________
| | | |
| | | |
|______ | |_______________________________|
Right at the bottom of the report, just below the last table/graph combination, I have a simple matrix control.
In the preview pane, all is well, no problem. When I deploy the report to the report server, the matrix control pushes all graphs out for the entire length of the matrix.

Matrix /\
The only way I get the report to display correctly is when I specify that the matrix must start on a new page. Unfortunately, the customer wants all on one page.
Any ideas?As items grow vertically, they push items below them.
As they grow horizontally, they push items beside them on the page.
An easy way to prevent this is to make sure your graphs aren't considered to
be to the right of the matrix by grouping the table and graph together in a
rectangle:
--
| -- -- |
| |Table| |Graph| |
| -- -- |
--
--
|Matrix|
