Well if I did understand you correctly you just want to make the c:\ volume smaller so that you can have more space on the data partition?
I'm not sure if this works in a RAID setup as well but you should be able to do it with system integrated tools.
Open the Server-Manager and expand the "Storage" option.
Go to disk management.
rightclick on (C:) and choose downsize (or similar meaning).
This should do it.
