Richard, this seems to me to be the article used as a pronoun, in this case a demonstrative. ATR has a section on the article used as a pronoun I think in which he says that this is done in both Luke and Paul. TO GAR TI PROSEUXWMEQA KAQO DE OUK OIDAMEN would be roughly "For we do not know that for which we should pray as is necessary." ATR also talks of the article used with the relative clause and specifically with Rom 8:26 the article used with an indirect question, p. 766. He said that it made clearer the substantival idea of the indirect question.
