Does the md driver support partitions in a meaningful/useful way?
No, the md driver (and many other block drivers in Linux) do not support partitions. Yes, you can use your tool of choice to put a partition table on the device, but it won't be used.
You can use LVM1/LVM2 to break up your md device into usable chunks (which is what I do).
