Noting that that is very rough as a 500GB disk is only ~467GB usable

No, a 500GB is really 500 GB. However, that is 465 GiB.

"They" have it right - even if perhaps for the wrong motives :-p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiB

Of course I could be wrong here but I normally don't expect to see a
disk in the spare state in a normal RAID5 array, (but all the arrays I
have seen using Linux Software RAID up to now have had a maximum of 4
disks and this has 6)

But you have 7 disk listed:

]    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
]       0       8        1        0      active sync   /dev/sda1
]       1       8       17        1      active sync   /dev/sdb1
]       2       8       49        2      active sync   /dev/sdd1
]       3       8       65        3      active sync   /dev/sde1
]       4       8       81        4      active sync   /dev/sdf1
]       5       0        0        5      removed
]
]       6       8       97        -      spare   /dev/sdg1

You should remove disk number 5 from the definition, that would remove the degraded state.

And I don't see sdc1?
