The analyses of a text

It was the better part of an hour before we struck the camp. There were four men seated about the fire and two sleeping off in the shadows.
[Nine Princes in Amber" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know if "away, far" is equal to "far away," and if I can connect a clause and a phrase by "and" as in the underlined sentence.
Thank you in advance for your help.
