I believe the example below does the sort of thing you require (i.e. 2 plots
with dissimilar x and y ranges):

p1 = Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 3 Pi/2}, DisplayFunction -> Identity];
p2 = Plot[2Sin[2x], {x, Pi/2, 2Pi}, DisplayFunction -> Identity];
Show[{p1, p2}, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction];

Mathematica handles the superimposing of the plots automatically and
correctly.
