Mikkel, I've looked at it for a while but can't see an easy
solution to this, apart from using

image(df1, xlim = c(0, 6), ylim = c(0, 7))
image(df2, add = T)
image(df3, add = T)

spplot basically wraps levelplot for grids, and I don't see an
easy way out using that for multiple grids with different cell
sizes; see what happens if you join the grid cell centres as
points and feed them to levelplot as a data.frame, probably
the grid cell sizes levelplot will choose will not suit you.

A solution might be to try to do it on the level of package
grid, but my skills are not sufficient for that. Another would
be to consult Deepayan (through R-help).
