The third partition on each drive is assigned as swap, and of

I'd be tempted to just make these two new 512M spaces into new
partitions for a RAID-1 and move your /boot to that, abandoning the
RAID-1 you have for the /boot that is using the partitions at the
start of the disk.
I agree, unless the BIOS cannot read sectors at that offset.
Or you could create a RAID10 array with the 4 partitions if they have
similar sizes.
Or you could move /boot back into the / filesystem.
In either case, the BIOS restriction applies and you may need to
reinstall the boot loader on both drives.
Or you could try to reduce the required space in /boot :
- remove old kernels
- reduce initramfs size with MODULES=dep instead of MODULES=most in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
- remove plymouth if installed
You could do away with the swap partitions entirely and use swap
files instead.
Swap files are an ugly hack and not all filesystems support them.
