For RAID0 (and linear), there is no such number.  The devices can be of
different sizes and in each case "all" of the available space is used.
That sounds a bit surprising, excuse my ignorance, but how a RAID0 of
differently-sized devices is laid out? Is the "tail" of the larger device
simply used in linear mode, adding space to the striped "heads"?
% man md

search for "RAID0"

read and enjoy.
