Mmm, I fail to see what is the purpose of such RAID, just as an
experiment? :-?
What are your goals? With 2 disks, having a raid0/rai1 has sense when
using different devices but not the same... unless you just want to
combine them for creating a big spool/volume (JBOD), in which case, LVM
should fit better your needs.
I think more information is required :-)
