The spplot function uses lattice graphics, so you may use the standard methods
for the "trellis" objects that it returns. If you did something like:

sp_out_Minneapolis <- spplot(Minneapolis, "your_var")
print(sp_out_Minneapolis, split=c(1, 1, 2, 1), more=TRUE)
sp_out_Cleveland <- spplot(Cleveland, "your_var")
print(sp_out_,Cleveland split=c(2, 1, 2, 1), more=FALSE)

you will get some of the way there. If in addition you would like only one
legend using the same breaks and colours, you'll need to use appropriate
arguments to spplot() in both calls to handle this.

It may be worth considering posting queries of this kind on R-sig-geo, as
response may be forthcoming more quickly there.

Hope this helps,

Roger
