I have read this question, but i just can not explain why exactly overfull happens in my case, so i ask for help.

First of all, two boxes in spanned cells (that ones with rotated text) produces 4 bad boxes. How can i fix it or is there workaround to suppress warnings caused by this boxes.

  • Your table is too complicated with many manual adjustments, which makes it difficult to know from where the problem comes. But surely it is related with the very first row.

  • I could not find the type1ec package. Without it, it runs just fine (no errors or warnings).

So, it seems that TeX/LaTeX detects overfull by calculating height of table rows assuming each row to contain of single line of text.

I added two more rows (each after «At the top of the first line...»), see

&      & \multicolumn{5}{c|}{}            & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{}\\\cline{3-7}

Also i spanned cells containing «At the top of the first line...» by two rows, see

&      & \multicolumn{5}{c|}{%
          \multirow{2}*{%
           \parbox{0.4\linewidth}%
                  {\centering At the top of the first line you can not see %
                              enough padding between border line and text}}}
                                          & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{}\\

And finally i placed struts at the beginning of each row, that i found with wrong padding, see

\rule[\singlelnfixrule]{0pt}{\baselineskip}

The whole example (compiles with no warnings):
