Is there a document that describes the optimal installation locations for
an SBS 2003 Premium installation.


Your config is good.

Should you outgrow your Exchange or SQL boundaries, you can always simply
move them to a larger pair of disks partitioned diferrently.

Try to keep each half of the mirror on its own channel, or even its own
controller, if possible. That will minimize chance of array failure.

I would throw the pagefile onto the logs partition as well. Log writing is a
consecutive disk operation, and so is mostly pagefile. Make sure your RAID
controller has a battery-backed cache and enable the write-back cache
feature in the OS.
