I'd suggest adding a bit more structure to the graph:

     root [style=invis shape=point]
     root ->     {O9f00311     O6c59562f O5d295f3b} [len=1.25 style=invis]

Then try
   twopi -Granksep=1.5:3.3 -Groot=root
or
   neato  -Elen=3.75

You can play with the len and ranksep parameters, and also try combining 
with overlap=false.

Something odd is happening with taillabel and headlabel placement. There 
shouldn't be that much
overlap.
