Sorry, been busy. Unfortunately, once a member is marked "spare", it simply doesn't know any more what role it used to have. So "--assemble" won't get you there. You will need to use "--create --assume-clean" or directly edit the offending superblock. > *Complete* output of "mdadm -E" for the array members is needed before > any "--create" operation is attempted.

It would be good if we understood *why* your array "went wonky" so that it doesn't happen again after reassembling your array. Your situation "smells" like a timeout mismatch and/or lack of scrubbing. Finally, in the interest of helping others help you, please don't top-post, and *do* trim your quotes. It greatly helps when coming back to a thread after a few days.
