I really want to restore _anything_ from the linear raid partition of the working drive, is it possible at all?
It depends on the filesystem. You now have a huge gap in the block data and I have successfully extracted some files from an ext2 fs in this case, but don't know much about the others.
I'd recommend to ddrescue the defective drive to a new drive and get as much data off of it as possible.
