Personally I think the most elegant method is this.

Series: Dragonriders of Pern

I don't think doing anything fancy is necessary.
From my point of view, I am not breaking up the series and a series sort will show the Harper Hall sub-series within the series. Now if you used:

Harper Hall 01: Dragonsong
Series: Dragonriders of Pern xx

One issue for me is that the 3 Harper Hall books overlap Dragonquest and White Dragon making series numbering fun. And that is a sadly common habit with many authors who have multiple series set in the same universe.
