You have to have at least two "part raid.somenumber" lines to create a
RAID1, and a "raid" line to define the type of RAID, filesystem type
and mountpoint.

Have a look at:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-syntax.html
(that URL is all one line, your mail client may wrap it).
Scroll down to the "part" section and also the "raid" section. For a
more advanced example:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-examples.html#sect-kickstart-partitioning-example
(again, all one line)
