There is no way to do this in one pass with XSL-FO because FO, by
design, does not provide this type of "layout aware" processing.

You could do it in two passes by rendering it the first time, capturing
XEP's intermediate file, examining that to see how much space the text
took up, and from that, calculate the size for the graphic and then
re-render the document, setting the graphic size.

In general, FO does not provide any features for doing this sort of copy
fitting, beyond the ability to specify minimum and maximum values for
things like space-before/after (which would allow a renderer some
flexibility in trying to keep things together, for example).

FO implementors may, of course, provide proprietary features to enable
more copy fitting.

Cheers,
