\defineframed[myStatement][background=myOverlay, offset=overlay,width=fit]
\dontleavehmode\framed[strut=no, offset=2cm]{\myStatement{FIRST TEST}}
In the first test, I would like the black box to have the dimensions of 
the red box.

\placefigure[left,none]{}{\framed[strut=no,offset=2cm]{\myStatement{SECOND 
TEST}}}
....

If needed, you can hide this behind macros:

\def\startmyStatement
     {\framed[struct=no, offset=2cm]\bgroup\myStatement\bgroup}

\def\stopmyStatement
    {\egroup\egroup}
