With the two containing boxes you could set these margins and paddings to 0px and give them a fixed width that is equal.
The two boxes at top and the three in the bottom one could have a margin of 5px giving a clearance of 10px around everything except the left and right extreme edges. All you would have to do then is make sure the 3 boxes have a width that matches whats left after the margins are taken away from the containing box width.
e.g 5px N 10px N 10px N 5px
So if your main box was 740px N, the width of your three boxes would be 710px/3... possibly better to work from the inside out so you get integer values.
