If there is, it is probably all I need. The standard tools, (basically bioctl), allow you to create softraid volumes, change the passphrase and do a few other tasks. I published a separate program to resize crypto volumes. This is all that most users need. You are asking about and trying to do something that is completely outside the scope of being 'supported'. It's not recommended, nor considered to be useful.
