Then carefully read the LVM documentation.  There is a way to do what
you want, but I would not recommend it.  I would instead recommend using
RAID5.  Even with three smaller drives, you would lose only a small
amount of the storage capacity.  The capacity is (N - 1)*X, where N is
the number of drives and X is the capacity of the smallest.
