You didn't seem to mention what happened to the syrup can that came in the package - is it in one of the hive bodies somewhere?
One deep body is plenty of space for a new package of bees. There is no advantage to giving them more space at this point. I'd take away one of the boxes, remove some frames so you have space, dump the package box bees in the space, put the frames back carefully and close it up.
