Use LVM, that is the real way people deal with huge RAID arrays in real
life. Partitions just aren't flexible enough. But be careful with your
root device, anything other than simple RAID1 will give you trouble there
(as in it is not impossible, but it is non-trivial to arrange the kernel to
boot from it).
Do notice that you must have the LVM device ON TOP of RAID, not the other
way around.
