Add a protected space (CTRL-SPACE) or a double protected space (CTRL-SPACE SPACE) _between_ your array and the closing bracket. If you want more precise control, instead of protected space use \hspace{2.1mm}. (Replace 2.1mm with a length measure that produces the desired output.) Personally I recommend [CTRL-SPACE SPACE], double protected space, which is probably more portable (like when you decide to typeset using 12pt fonts instead of 10pt).
