Yes.

Internal is easier.
The command is
mdadm --grow /dev/mdXXX --bitmap=internal
This could have a negative impact on performance. The degree depends
a lot on your workload.
If you notice a reduction in write speed that is not acceptable, and
if removing the bitmap (mdadm --grow /dev/mdXXX --bitmap=none) fixes
the problem, then we can try to find an alternate solution.

There is no need for that.
