Why on earth would you want to do such a dangerous and useless thing ?
As I wrote in a previous message, there is plenty of free space on the
disk to create a new BIOS boot partition of suitable size.

Shrinking a partition is never completely safe.

The BIOS boot partition *must not* be used as a RAID member. It must not
be used at all. It's just a raw empty partition. It does not need to be
formatted as FAT or whatever. Any format will be destroyed when
grub-install writes the bootloader in the partition.
