You could determine a scale and size that suits what you seem to think is the best size for the individual aspects of a given chart, and use some tricks to determine the user's viewable screen size and scale according to %'s of that.
For instance if you decided your chart looked best at width x and your viewable browser size was x2 then you can take what % of x2 x is and then once you have that you have a base. Do this for the other "objects" that make up the chart. Then you can use some tricks to determine the user's viewable browser area, apply the % of the size you determine above, and give that a go. You should be able to make it scale relatively well that way. Might not be the best way to do it but it would get you somewhere to start. The biggest issue this would give you is that you have to make a cut off point somewhere down the line. That would be your best bet atm.
