Ignoring the issues of using mismatched drive sizes, is it possible to 
achieve the data resilience of this non-striped raid4 using the current
linux-raid?

 I'm not so interested in being able to use mismatched drives, etc,
but I am interested in being able to create a raid setup with the
enhanced data loss protection that this gives you. For a read-mostly
system that doesn't need the extra read speed that raid5 gets you, its
pretty compelling. With a 5 drive raid5 system, if I lose 2 drives, I
lose all my data, while with this setup, I only lose 1/4 of it
