Adding your own copy of wxGTK instead of using EPEL's will create a 
nightmare for anyone who wants to use both your gnuplot42 package and 
anything in EPEL that depends on wxGTK.  If it doesn't cause any 
significant problems, please consider just disabling the bits of gnuplot 
that rely on wxGTK so the dependency goes away.

Or people could simply bite the bullet and use two packages from EPEL if 
gnuplot42 is that important to them.  Less duplication between 
repositories means a reduced chance of dependency solving problems for 
the whole distribution.
