Which 2 TB limitation ? EDD BIOS calls use 64-bit LBA and should not
have any practical limitation unless the BIOS implementation is flawed.

"For example, you cannot create 3TB or 4TB partition size (RAID based)

This is a DOS/MBR partition scheme limitation, not a BIOS limitation,
and irrelevant with GPT partition scheme.
how to get a > 3 TB partition for /dev/md2
Use GPT.
