Add a protected space (CTRL-SPACE) or a double protected space
(CTRL-SPACE SPACE) _between_ your array and the closing bracket. If you
want more precise control, instead of protected space use \hspace{2.1mm}.
(Replace 2.1mm with a length measure that produces the desired output.)
Personally I recommend [CTRL-SPACE SPACE], double protected space, which
is probably more portable (like when you decide to typeset using 12pt
fonts instead of 10pt).
