Yes, @group should be around the diagram.

Leave the text outside the @example, and instead put "@need NUMBER"
before the @example which starts the diagram, where NUMBER is enough
to allow for both the diagram and the text after it.  I'd use 10000
for NUMBER, but if you can easily print that page after TeXing it,
simply measure how many inches of vertical space does the diagram and
the text take, and multiply that by 1000.
