I would suggest that /usr/* should come before /*, because the root partition
is usually (intended) to keep small and/or readonly so /usr may contain the
same binary with more capabilities and/or an updated one.
I don't really know about */bin */sbin. */bin is intended for more generic
useful programs, like ls, while */sbin is intended for programs that are
generally useless to users. But, well, this is busybox. And in embedded
environments the rules may be different. I know that with us */sbin is just a
link to */bin.
