You should be able to rebuild the array on top of the partitions by
subtracting the partition offset from the data offset. If the partitions
all begin at sector 2048:
--data-offset=$((262144-2048))s
Beware that /dev/sd* names are not always persistent across reboots, so
check that the disks are in the same order as during the previous boot.
(though one wonders if I even need an array when a single drive can
hold everything...).
RAID5 provides disk fault tolerance. If you only need disk aggregation,
you could use RAID0 or LVM instead.
