If I read the problem correctly ...
par(xpd=T) or par(xpd=NA) should allow you to produce text() outside the
plot region.
For example,

    par(mfrow=c(3,1), oma=rep(4,4))
    plot(1)
    text(1.4, 1, "A quite long string", adj=0)
    par(xpd=T)
    plot(1)
    text(1.4, 1, "A quite long string", adj=0)
    par(xpd=NA)
    plot(1)
    text(1.4, 1, "A quite long string", adj=0)
    box("inner", lty="dashed")
