Is your feature request related to a problem?

This is not related to any problem, but I think it would be nice to have a support for giving a matplotlib mosaic with the keys for the variables you want to plot for different panels and xarray parse that into the figure.

Describe the solution you'd like

Something like

```python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import xarray as xr import numpy as np

n = 200 t = np.linspace(0,32np.pi,n) ds = xr.Dataset({letter:(("s","t"),np.sin(t)+0.5*np.random.randn(3,n)) for letter in "A B C D E".split()}) ds = ds.assign_coords(t=t,s=range(3))

mosaic = [ ["A","A","B","B","C","C"], ["X","D","D","E","E","X"], ]

kw = dict(x="t",hue="s",add_legend=False) ds.plot.line(mosaic=mosaic,empty_sentinel="X",**kw)

```

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have a code snippet that generate similar results but with more code.

```python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import xarray as xr import numpy as np

n = 200 t = np.linspace(0,32np.pi,n) ds = xr.Dataset({letter:(("s","t"),np.sin(t)+0.5*np.random.randn(3,n)) for letter in "A B C D E".split()}) ds = ds.assign_coords(t=t,s=range(3))

mosaic = [ ["A","A","B","B","C","C"], ["X","D","D","E","E","X"], ]

kw = dict(x="t",hue="s",add_legend=False) fig = plt.figure(constrained_layout=True,figsize=(8,4)) ax = fig.subplot_mosaic(mosaic,empty_sentinel="X") for key in ds: ds[key].plot.line(ax=ax[key],**kw) ```
