Yes. We've been using LVM for years with 9x200GB drives.

A slight variant - our drives are organized in three
volume groups. We use three cycles for our backups.
By creating logical volumes in each of the three
volume groups we ensure that a single or double drive
failure doesn't wipe out all three backups of any
system.
