You are probably better off if you don't mix the installed OS with the
partitions you want to export, so you would use a small raid1 for the OS, then
add everything else after it is up and running. I'd do it that way for other
distributions too, even if I eventually want /home or /var on different raid
partitions. It is easy enough to mount the new space under a temporary name,
copy over the existing contents, rename the old directories and set up fstab to
mount the new ones when you reboot.
