It wasn't called iostat, I called it diskstat. I plead old-age. :-)
Check here http://www.xymonton.org/monitors:diskstat.ksh and scroll down to Installation, Step 4. You can see how I did it. I think there was a bug though. You had to make the entry <desired number>+1 The example I gave below would give you 3 lines, while the ::7 in the diskstat test on xymonton (see link above) gives 6 lines per graph.
A neat trick, if you ever want to see more, or all the lines on a graph again, is to click on the graph. This will show the 4 longer term graphs. Look at the URL. Somewhere in the URL you will see something like &first=1&count=5 Change count=5 to be count-10, or however many graphs you want on a single page. Hit enter, and it will redraw with the other lines.

It is configurable. In the GRAPHS= in xymonserver, you have definition for your graph. It should look something like GRAPHS="..,mygraph,..." Change that to GRAPHS="..,mygraph::4,.." (Or at least I think it was there. I don't have my setup in front of me) Check on xymonton. One of the scripts I contributed - I think iostat - has this set.
Experiment with different values, until you find one that looks good. Normally 4 to 6 lines per graph looks good. Less looks lonely, more gets a little busy

Why do some graphs such as disk drive space have only 4 entries per graph while others like temperature lump all entries into one graph? I have machines with 10 or 15 drives and they graph with only 4 disks per graph. But I have devices with temperature and all 14 are lumped on one graph (very hard to read). Thanks Paul Jordan
