if I understood you correctly, no.

You will have to build the btrfs 'raid' on top of two bcache devices. If
the caching device for both devices in the same SSD (partitioned) what's
the point? Assuming Btrfs has a similar feature set to MD's Raid1
write-mostly, you could accelerate the one side, and run the other half of
the mirror without acceleration. Otherwise I would just use MD's Raid1 and
be done with it. Put btrfs/ext4/xfs on top as you like.
Does your intended workload really benefit from putting an SSD into the
mix?
