If it were me, during the fdisk portion of the install, I'd put / on the
200mb drive, and /usr and /home on the 300mb drive. The install will build
the tables to mount them on boot. To the user, it will all look like one
drive. Use part of the 200mb for a swap partition.
You probably would have to re-install to do this.
