I think it will depend upon with option you passed to the clearpart command of jumpstart. If you did a clearpart --all, I think you are most likely out of luck. All the documentation I've read on kickstart doesn't explicitly state if clearpart --all will span more than one disk, but my guess is it does. If you did this and then installed over top of the wiped partitions, recovery will be hard, but if all you did was wipe them, a recovery service might be able to get your data back.
Good Luck..
