It may be possible to use floats to achieve your objective. Here is a link to a demo using floats: http://www.jimdavis.org/test/checkerboard.html
This uses two floats, one that is 16em wide by 8em high, and a blank that is 8em square. The image within the wide float is floated left and is given a class to set the width and height of the image to 8em by 8em. This makes sure the image is sized to fit the containing element and allows the image to change size when the user re-sizes the text in the browser. I have only tested this on a PC with FF and IE7, so not sure of results in other browsers and OS's.
