Thanks for your advices. In the end I decided to try out different settings and compare the results. The video file I eventually muxed into my final matroska file was encoded with --sar 40:33 line. There is one thing that's been bothering me regarding this. 40:33 is PAR, isn't it? Then why is it "--sar"?
If anyone was interested, here's what I got:
DAR set to 1.823 produced the same file size as --sar 32:27. DAR 1.823 was too flat, --sar 32:27 was too stretched.
--sar 40:33 gave me the correct ratio. The final AR was 853x480 (though MPC plays it at 704x396 with borders expanding it to 704x480). I also achieved the same result by setting DAR to 1.778 (16:9).
