Raid math:
RAID(5+0) == RAID(5) + RAID(0)

Commands:

mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sda /dev/sdb / 
dev/sdc
mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdd /dev/sde / 
dev/sdf
mdadm --create /dev/md3 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/md0 /dev/md1

I believe this is all amply documented on a variety of md websites.
