The subject pretty much says it all - it obviously is not 0xFD, since there is nothing to autodetect. Is there some best practice/semi-standard way of marking a raid component partition as such?

Nobody really cares about the partition type these days. I usually
stick to the default 83 (Linux) for software raid partitions and
never encountered any problems.

This is a very flawed assumption. You will be surprised how many utilities/live CDs are there in existence, which will selently attempt to mount/fsck a partition based solely on its type. The implications of a commenced mount/fsck on a raid component are not to be uttered here :)
