I only have basic dot knowledge, but from what I know this not easily 
possible, which is simply a result of how dot works.
If you really want to affect the layout, try to render the graph in e.g.  
SVG and modify it in inkscape or so.
The rendering engine of graphviz also accepts parameters which modify 
its behavior. I know of nodesep and ranksep. Maybe there are others too.
