AFAIK they have to be of equal size but as you can create a 27GB partition on the 40GB drive, you could at least get 54GB out of this configuration. I have never used it but I think that LVM can also do just that: Concatenate multiple physical disks to one big logical. If one disk is a lot slower than the other it could happen that the RAID0 is slower than the single disk.
