And you do have the option of using the pair of 900ps for both L2ARC and SLOG. Striped for the L2ARC and Mirrored for the SLOG.
This will have the potential to theoretically impact your SLOG performance though, but it will remove that "i'm wasting space" feeling ;)
If it does actually impact performance will depend on your usage mix between sync writes vs l2arc reads. Perhaps worth testing... as testing is actually safe and relatively easy once you have the hardware.
As you might know, not all PCIe slots are necessarily active if not all CPU sockets are utilized.
