A UIWebView might be more suitable for the task of laying out a page. You could then use html with CSS floats to achieve the effect you're looking for.

If you do not want to use UIWebView, I suggest looking at Core Text for layout.

If you have bounding box for those elements, than you can easily implement this logic by iterating usage of method - (CGSize)sizeWithFont:(UIFont *)font constrainedToSize:(CGSize)size lineBreakMode:(UILineBreakMode)lineBreakMode and removing by one word from string till returned size will fit into bounding box for corresponding section, than truncate text to place where you stop removing words and complete with other sections.
