For the readers' interest, a much simpler way was suggested by Statacorp's Vince Higgins:

clear
sysuse auto
sc mpg weight if foreign, name(a) title("Foreign")
sc mpg weight if !foreign, name(b) title("Domestic")
grc1leg a b, title("By Car Type")






A work around was discussed in this talk:

 Thanks Nick & Maarten,
 The limitation with -grc1leg- is that it can only choose as its own
 meta-title one of the titles from the subgraphs which are being
 combined.

 -graph combine-, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be able to use
 only one meta-legend.

 The reason I'm seeking a solution is that I'm combining 4 graphs, one

 for each cancer stage I-IV, and I want to have the sub-title "Stage
 I", "Stage II", and so on, for each sub-graph. However, the legend is

 the same for each sub-graph, so I only want to display it once.
