Archival note for anyone searching this later:
I noticed that 3ware also provides an option to create a "boot" portion of the
array, with a predefined amount of space assigned to it, and am using that to
assign 80 GB to /dev/sda with the remaining in /dev/sdb, to be used by LVM.
Unfortunately I wasn't the one to initially set up the array, or I might have
noticed this and saved myself a few days of frustration.
I'll go punish myself accordingly now for responding to my own post.
