Help creating widgetized page

[TGScreative]

I created widgets that appear in the content area for a specific landing page.
The page already has a sidebar that includes widgets so the content area is two-thirds of the page
The content area has one widget on top and two widgets side by side below.

My question is how to place and format these widgets.
I place them in the "genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap" hook. This seems to work. But maybe there is a better way?
Not sure how to specify the dimensions of the top widget. Do I give it class of "two-thirds"? It looks like the title is not sizing properly.
I gave the bottom widgets the class of "one-third" but is this the best way? If the sidebar grew to be longer than the top widget the two bottom widgets would be pushed below the sidebar. (I am using the class "first" for the first widget)

I could create custom widgets for the entire page, including the sidebar but not sure how to create a layout that has two columns and then one of those widgets broken into two more columns. Any advice?

You don't need to use hooks when hard coding widgets into a template

But you could use hooks to determine the width so loop_start will span the content area only whereas genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap will span full width.

Here's some code you may find useful http://wpsites.net/web-design/genesis-split-sidebars/
