Without much thinking, I would simply follow the wiki page, mark a

for sync to complete. Repeat for all 4 devices and finally --grow with
mdadm (followed by xfs resizing) - and of course, all online, while
machine is in flight.

That is exactoy what I did with my RAID 10 a bit more than a year ago. It basically worked, but there was one caveat... some part (the ---grow?) which required a certain kernel version for which I had booted a live CD back then...

The thing is, I can't exactly remember what the caveat was. And as I'm about to grow the RAID again (having replaced all hard drives already), I have been looking for the related mails in the archive of this list, but I can't seem to find them...

So I guess we'll have to hope that Neil replies again.
