Dunno about the installer, maybe... I've always just edited fstab. All 
you have to do is give each swap partition an identical priority option, 
and they will be striped.

The fstab entries would looks something like this:

/dev/sda2          swap              swap       pri=42              0 0
/dev/sdb2          swap              swap       pri=42              0 0
