You might consider added these two options:
ImageSize -> {1400},
Method -> "SpringEmbedding",
This is not completely satisfactory, but the labels don't overlap. All but
one arrow head is at least partly visible. Some isolated portions of the
graph have only two vertexes with one edge. Curiously, these portions are
rendered differently in an apparent attempt to maintain identical spacing
between two vertexes, the arrow-edge aesthetics are sacrificed: sometimes
the arrow is too short to connect the boxes; sometimes too long and and
partly obscured, and sometimes are "just right." Other values for Method
(such as "SpringElectricalEmbedding") give somewhat different layouts.
