Way too big and spread out, I don't know if anyone will have the time
to read that.

First, https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_Recovery

Second, what parameters do you remember about the original array?

Third, you probably want to try hexdumping the first megabyte or two
of each drive and looking for a superblock of your filesystem.

(man hexdump)

hexdump -Cn $((1024*1024)) /dev/whatever

You may also want to use dd to get the end of the block device.

Most importantly, knowing //where// the superblock is in your device
will allow for a guess about where in to the block-dev the data is
supposed to start.  That ///may/// allow for the creation of a
superblock with the proper alignment (and hopefully chunk size) to
read your data.
