mdadm and the linux raid code don't care whether a component device
of a raid array is a full disk or a partition of a disk. So your
setup won't cause any problems.

However, tools like fdisk which expect a partition table might get
confused. You also might get some error messages at boot time about
invalid partition tables. These are usually harmless though.
