You can extend Highcharts with new function. Here you can find information about extending Highcharts: http://www.highcharts.com/docs/extending-highcharts/extending-highcharts

As you will see in my demo, I wrapped setChartSize function and give them possibility to use parameters from your chart options:

chart: {
  plotAreaWidth: 300,
  plotAreaHeight: 200
},

Function is also positioning your plot area in the middle of chart container.
