This looks like a good plan. Especially the (unquoted above) idea of
leaving space for the two LVM areas to grow into, depending on your
future needs.
Just one minor nit... Swap on raid-1 is overkill. If the system
gets an error reading or writing swap, it mostly just reboots. This
is infrequent enough that rebooting is an acceptable response. The
overhead of raid-1 isn't justified.
You may hope to gain some small speed advantage by doing swap on
raid-0, but you can accomplish the same thing by allocating two
separate swap partitions on two different disks. The system will
know how to use them to its best advantage.
