raid-1 has the property that the raid superblock is at the end of the
partition, so that the filesystem contained inside the raid starts at
the start of each of the component raid partitions.  In other words,
each partition in the raid set looks like a perfectly formed ext2fs
filesystem which just happens to be 64k smaller than the total partition
size.

Grub should be able to read this just fine.

Cheers,
