I want to use just 2 SSDs for the boot / system partitions AND a 2-way Storage Space Mirrored Pool. So the boot / system partitions are going to have to reside on some portion of one SSD, then the remaining portion that SSD will join the second SSD in a mirrored storage space pool.
Can this be done?

Not according to the documentation
According to the Storage Spaces in Windows 10 documentation you need at least 2 extra drives in addition to the one Windows is installed on.
What do I need to create a storage space?
You need at least two extra drives (in addition to the drive where Windows is installed). These drives can be internal or external hard drives, or solid state drives. You can use a variety of types of drives with Storage Spaces, including USB, SATA, and SAS drives
The corresponding New-StoragePool PowerShell command indicates physical disks rather than partitions must be used.
-PhysicalDisks
Accepts one or more PhysicalDisk objects as input. The Physical Disk CIM objects represent the physical disks to be added to the storage pool.

thiis is not correct. while the partitions need to come from multiple physical disks, it's possible to use partitions rather than entire disks. – user1282931 – 2019-11-27T16:48:39.760
@user1282931 - I've updated answer to indicate it isn't possible according to the documentation rather than categorically not. If it is possible please post an alternative answer. – lx07 – 2019-11-27T16:57:44.460
