OK, specifying 27 devices worked and I successfully mounted the RAID and
looked around. Thanks again for the guidance! I guess things look OK
(there are directories and files!)
I was wondering if I should fsck it before adding the other two disks
back in or after? Any other words of experience?

All fsck commands should have a 'dry-run' or 'no-modify' mode in which
they just check without attempting to change anything. This should be
your first mode of operation.
If everything checks out you can add your spares and regain your redundancy.
Kind regards,
Alex.
