Couldn't you have the partion script touch some sort of .done file at the end of it's run,
then have a while loop to look for the dummy.done file in the Mdadm script and when it finds it to run its commands (but remembering to remove the .done so that the next run doesn't kick off by mistake)
Hope that makes sense...

# the first service announcement will not be made until this
# script completes.
#
# Set the multicast timeout to 30 seconds
$LATCP -m 30
# Add another login service
$LATCP -A -a ZAPHOD -r 100
# Add a queued reverse LAT service to a printer on a DECserver
