Not necessary but it simply looks better in code, as well as there is less
chance on {} errors [it also groups the setup command nicely]

\hbox to 5cm{\hss\sbox{\hbox{oeps}}\hss}

One way of doing these things is using framed and packing them together. 

\hbox
  {\framed[width=5cm,height=5cm]{figure}%
   \framed[width=10cm,height=5cm]{some text}}

etc. Turn of the frame, set the offset to 'overlay' and done.
