My experience is that with the below penalty changes, such overfull boxes
never appear:
\tolerance 1414
\hbadness 1414
\emergencystretch 1.5em
\hfuzz 0.3pt
Furthermore
\usepackage{microtype}
helps.
The downside might be some more undefull boxes, but in general, the result
here looks quite good, even with German, a notoriously difficult language when
it comes to hyphenation.
