The partitioning scheme I wanted to use was not presented as an option by the installer in an earlier build. In a previous install there had been a way of compressing the existing system so that it occupied 50% of the total drive space. The installer then would write a new partition using the other 50% of drive space freed up. With my current knowledge of LVM, that's as good an answer as I can give.
