Thats not what Raid is for. You can 'bundle' together a set of devices once into a set of Redundant Array of Inexpensive Devices (what the name alrady says) and, if you either use Raid-1 or Raid-5 have the ability to hotremove and/or hotadd devices if one of them fails, but you can't to my knowledge increase the size of a software Raid without repartitioning and reformating. What you are asking is a Logical Volume Management (LVM), which is not available in the Red Hat kernel.
