Linux RAID can already deal with such a problem IIRC but if the filesystem superblock is missing or directory entries, you ain't going no where. This kind of feature would require filesystem knowledge of where the RAID split the device and would be better suited to a FS like BTRFS which mirror superblock and metadata without any Linux RAID.
