In this case, you're probably better off putting the legend on last ie, as
the final ShowLegend after a series of Show[]'s or Plot[]'s and
constructing, positioning & sizing it by hand.  To minimise the intermediate
displays, use DisplayFunction->Identity in a Block[].

Like most operations involving Graphics`Legend, it's straightforward, but
painful.  Please post some code if you want specific help.

An alternate approach might use Dave Park's DrawGraphics package, or even
forego the Legend altogether.

Regards,

Dave.
