*Is* a drive actually missing? Can fdisk see partition tables on all your stripes? If you really lost one of your stripes, then by the laws of RAID 0 you just lost your whole set. I only use RAID 0 on expendable stuff.
BTW, it's been my experience that if there are persistent superblocks present, /etc/raidtab changes won't have any effect.
