Just wanted to follow up with what I ended up doing. I found an article that shows how to load the SQL servers manually. Link is here:
Blog About installing SQL for Lync
We were loading standard, so we needed three SQL servers instead of two. The following three lines installed all three instances of SQL into a directory on the S: drive:
SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.EXE /QUIET /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /HIDECONSOLE /ACTION=Install
/FEATURES=SQLEngine,Tools /INSTANCENAME=RTCLOCAL /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService"
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Builtin\Administrators" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic"
/AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /INSTANCEDIR=S:\LyncDB
REM #################

/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Builtin\Administrators" /BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic"

I have not figured out how Archiving gets configured yet, so that is yet to come.
The above SQL configuration worked great for Lync 2013 Standard on a single server. Currently up an running with this configuration.
