do you have new infos from the hexdump or other news to try out some
things the get the raid and the luks running?

Unfortunately, no.  The hexdump had no real superblock candidates that I
could see.  That strongly suggests that there remain some ordering
issues.  I would try chunk sizes down to 8k.  If that still doesn't
work, consider re-creating with a different drive order--it's a slim
possibility that "sdc1 sdd1 missing sdf1" isn't correct.

Meanwhile, you haven't supplied the complete hexdump of your luks
signature sector.  It may not help, but it would show the payload offset.

thank you.

You're welcome, for what it's worth.  The encryption layer has stymied
my normal tricks for figuring out how an array was put together.
