I doubt it.  It might let you use the drive as two 400k DOS 3.3
volumes, but the rest of the partition would be unavailable.
(Actually, it would probably give you two 400k disks on each
partition, for a grand total of 1.6 megabytes.)

I'm assuming that UniDos will let you use any ProDOS block device, but
it might be checking for a disk of 800k size, in which case it
wouldn't recognise the hard drive.

There is a much better method of putting DOS 3.3 programs on the hard
drive: the shareware program "DOS 3.3 Launcher", which lets you put
images of DOS 3.3 disks onto the hard drive and boot them (it patches
DOS 3.3 so that disk accesses go to the appropriate part of the file).
