I haven't done it. But the man page of mdam says:
-f, --force
Insist that mdadm accept the geometry and layout specified
without question. Normally mdadm will not allow creation of an
array with only one device, and will try to create a raid5
array with one missing drive (as this makes the initial resync
work faster). With --force, mdadm will not try to be so
clever.
Maybe it's possible.
