No problem at all. Our most extreme example is a server
which has nine 200GB drives, most of which is not RAID, but
the small root and boot partitions are nine-way mirrored.
Use any mix or RAID, LVM, and plain that you need, except
you can only boot from plain or RAID1 (or maybe LVM now?)
but certainly not RAID5.
