Proportionally expanding branch lengths

Viewed 21

enter image description hereI'm trying to clean up a cophylogeny plot. Here is an idea of what I'm working with.

cophylo(h, p, assoc = hp)
plot(cophy, link.type="straight",link.lwd=weight,link.lty="solid",
    link.col = make.transparent("black", 0.25),fsize=0.98, ftype = "i", use.edge.length = T, space = 120, length = 10, xlim = c(-0.48, 0.48), 
     ylim = c(-0, 1.05)
)
text(-0.3, 1.05, "Cynipidae", cex.lab=0.75)
text(0.3,1.05, "Synergus")

Is there any way to adjust the branch lengths of the Cynipidae tree so that the evolutionary distances are easier to see?

Additionally, does anyone know how to reposition the taxa names?

New to phytools btw so if you have any other advice on cleaning this up with some aesthetic changes I am open to suggestions

I've tried using ape to adjust things but I don't know the package that well and have since defaulted to using phytools.
