I fixed such a thing by editing RAID metadata to no longer be in 
reshape state... incomplete instructions: 

https://bpaste.net/show/2231e697431d

The example above used 1.0 superblock I think; in order to adapt this 
successfully to your situation you should refer to

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_superblock_formats#The_version-1_superblock_format_on-disk_layout

If current mdadm/kernel has a way to get out of this ditch directly of 
course that would be so much better...

Apart from that, the other alternative that comes to mind is using 
--create but for that to be successful, you have to be sure to get all 
variables right (superblock version, data offset, raid level, chunk 
size, disk order, ...) and use --assume-clean and/or missing disks 
to prevent resyncs and verify the results in read-only mode.

Regards
Andreas
