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).
