Internally, the title block is a symbol like any other. It is not possible to change graphics objects which 
are part of an instantiated symbol. There is no way to change the size of the box to make it accommodate the 
schematic.

My work-around is to use a title block without a box:
http://www.gedasymbols.org/user/kaimartin_knaak/symbols/titleblocks/title-block.sym
I draw the box separately to the desired size.

My title-block.sym contains attributes for title, author, revision, 
file name and date. These can be set like any other attribute with 
double-click or from within the edit-attributes dialogue. These 
attributes are in no way special. Geda does not interpret them and
treats them just like visible strings. The only advantage is that 
the attributes are placed at sensible positions with appropriate 
size and alignment.
