The primary function of RAID is to protect your data in the event of a
_disk_ failure.  Creating multiple arrays from _partitions_ on the same
set of physical disks does nothing to protect one from disk failure.

That's not how I understand the disk layout - if I'm right, it is still
a monstrosity, but one that will offer protection on disk failure.

I didn't state this setup would not protect data from disk failure.  I
stated that a single array would have done that.  Making 9 more simply
causes all kinds of problems without any additional benefits.
