Answer 1

You can also increase the width of the bars to better fit the figure. Try this:

 p = ggplot(df, aes(x=factor(names)), ) + 
  geom_bar(width=0.75,data=subset(df,num=="total"), aes(y=values), stat="identity",width=.5) +
  geom_bar( width=0.75, data=subset(df,num!="total"), aes(y=-values,fill=factor(num)), stat="identity",width=.5) 
print(p)

EDIT:

I think I misunderstood your question. Do you want the bars within one name to be side by side?
