How to get the size of Inset in Graphics?

Hello,
I have some Plot with Inset that goes outside of the plot area and so
is clipped:

ins = Grid[Table["Some Text " <> ToString[i j], {i, 1, 4}, {j, 1,
2}]];
Plot[1/x, {x, 1, 10}, Epilog -> Inset[ins, {10, .5}]]

I need to get the size of this Inset programmatically for making a
simple procedure for automatic expanding the ImageMargings to show
full Inset. The procedure will generate new options like this:

Plot[1/x, {x, 1, 10}, Epilog -> Inset[ins, {10, .5}],
 PlotRangeClipping -> False, ImagePadding -> {{0, 50}, {10, 1}}]

Does anyone know a way to get the size of this Inset programmatically?
