Have a look at the attached LyX file. I used a 3 x _2_ dimensional array
with left aligned columns to arrange the values and the if's (BTW: I
think a centered/left aligned arrangement could look even nicer?!). The
only problem I had was the quite small space between the
text-in-math-mode if's and the math-stuff right after, so I inserted two
"hard spaces" (evil and ugly but gives good looking results, IMHO).
Hope this helps...

No idea. Don't use anything similar to LyX, use LyX instead :-)
I'm writing my master's thesis with it and am very happy having LyX to
do so! Since now I can't even think of any other tool to write it this
comfortable.
