After stopping /dev/md0, trying to zero a superblock in /dev/md0 would fail. Superblocks don't live in the array, they live in the individual component drives: mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sd?c or something. But there is no harm having stray superblocks lying around. Make sure the partitions are not raid-auto-detect (as someone else has mentioned I think) and make sure mdadm.conf doesn't mention the arrays.
