You should tell ddrescue to log which sectors it failed to copy. You can 
then recover the missing data by reading the stuff at that offset from 
the other disks, and XORing the bytes.

I plan to write a program which does that (and which also understands 
RAID1 and RAID6). How long can you survive without your data?
