The good news is that deploying onto the split up configuration will 
give you lots of data to collect about just how the load is split up 
over the various parts of the database.  You can just monitor which 
drives the I/O goes to.  If there are some that are really underused,  
and can arrange downtime and disk space to merge them together in the 
future, that may be an option for improving performance one day.
