Longer answer,  it could be better. Spacing things out a bit more would
probably help. Some corners could be nice looking. Consider this tweek:

     To
  HD44102s

  | | | |
  | | | |

  | | | `-----------------o------------------------ \
  | | `-----------------o-+------------------------  \  All To
  | `-----------------o-+-+------------------------  /  HD44102s
  `-----------------o-+-+-+------------------------ / 
                    | | | |   o    o
                    | | | |   |vvv |
                    | | | |  -++++-+-ooo- -oo-----
                  ._|_|_|_|__|||||_|_||||_|||_.
           :------|                           |
