How about something like this:

10Gb - Swap, / and /boot
40Gb - Swap, /usr
250Gb - Swap, /home

The 40Gb drive could be the "non-critical" one in that it could be recovered
by an OS reinstall followed by restore of the config onto the 10Gb drive.

The three swap partitions should be assigned equal priority so that they are
used in parallel, "striped" across the discs - like a RAID 0.

Alternatively, you could use the 40Gb for /home and the 250Gb for media files 
(e.g. mount as /home/media or wherever), although in this arrangement no disc 
would contain only "non critical" data unless you count the 10Gb. Only the 
biggest of systems are likely to need more than about 10Gb just for the 
operating system and programs these days.
