You surely are confused, but there is only *one* UUID there, not four.
The UUID is presented as four blocks, with a ':' between them, by mdadm
for some reason beyond my understanding, but it is really just one
string.
Also, the UUID is per *MD* device, not per compontent (hda, sda) device.
So, you list the UUID for the array that mdadm told you as-is.
