Looking at the output I assume I should be somewhat conservative on this as you appear to be detecting white space margins for automatic cropping.

Yes, -cbox works in addition to -m. They actually work a little differently. The -m option acts only on the entire source page (not the cropped area) and causes the source page to be treated as if all those margin areas become white (that's what actually happens to the internal bitmap). So it doesn't affect the size of the processed source page. The -cbox option causes just that cropped area to be processed, and the source page becomes a smaller size. It's a subtle difference but can affect how things are processed. To disable auto-cropping of white space, you can use
-t-.
