Don't recreate it - I said the wrong thing... You want to do an assemble on them with force if possible... Recreate is last ditch and make sure you have another copy if you do the previous command in case it doesn't work right due to offsets etc...
try:
mdadm --stop /dev/md127
mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md127 /dev/sd{c,b,e,a}1
If you DO need to recreate it, what you showed looks correct.
