Is the RAID array already defined, maybe hardware RAID? If so,
as far as the OS/installation disk is concerned it is a normal disk
like any other. So you can then partition it any way you want from
GUI.

Why don't you follow John's suggestion and use LVM? You can
install your OS easily in 50GB; my vm host (KVM/libvirt) uses around
6GB for the OS. Create a VG and put the OS partitions you want there
in 10-50G total; I think the OS will be happy if you just have / and
swap if you do not want to think about sizes. Leave the rest unused
for now. Once you have a working machine, then decide how you want to
allocate the rest of the disk (or disks). Worry about emulation after
you have a running server thingie.
Which emulation do you plan on running?
