OK, thanks again for all your answers.

gtk-extra has a good separation between model and view. The thing is
that I generate several plots in one canvas. I can make a new canvas
and put all the plots in it again. But as I will be putting exactly
the same plots there, I thought it would be a better idea to just
reproduce the same canvas in different viewports.

I wanted this done like this because I think it gives the user the
flexibility to easily view different plots all and one for comparison.
Also, I can export the whole canvas to a ps file if I need it for a
presentation, or something. That's why I wanted all the plots shown in
one canvas.

Anyway, I think I will go with the multiple widgets, looks like it's
the right thing to do. Thanks!
