I had the impression that it's possible. Please feel free to
doubleconfirm this one.

Here https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-miscm=144899721527642w=2 is a
previous mentioning in the mailing list of "sandwhiching" softraid
from 2015, there was no correction of the question then.

it may be "possible" but, if you like your data, it's probably better
to go for something which is "supported".
