You do no say what information you know and do not know. For example if the cube sinks and $h_1$ is big enough, it is possible that $s_2=0$. But if you know $s_1$ and $s_2$ then it is easy.

The volume of liquid displaced is $(s_1+s_2)n^2$ so the extra height (ignoring overflows) is $\dfrac{(s_1+s_2)n^2}{\pi R^2 - n^2}.$$\dfrac{(s_1+s_2)n^2}{\pi R^2 }.$ So the final overall height of the liquid is $$\min\left(H,h_1+h_2+\dfrac{(s_1+s_2)n^2}{\pi R^2 - n^2}\right)$$$$\min\left(H,h_1+h_2+\dfrac{(s_1+s_2)n^2}{\pi R^2 }\right)$$ and if you know $s_1$ and $s_2$ then you do not need to use the densities.

It is possible to calculate $s_1$ and $s_2$ using the information available including the densities, and that is where there are several cases to consider.
