If that's woolly think I don't think there is a name for your thought.

RAID is typically a collection of disks and yes, normally you  
partition the resulting 1 logical entity into multiple partitions  
(That depends on your needs) Sometimes you want a RAID for  
performance, sometimes reliability, sometimes because one drive just  
isn't big enough for the partition/volume/filesystem you want to create.

As for the original poster's question. I've never used Apple's  
software based RAID tools so I don't know how to do what you want.  
(But what you want to do is totally reasonable and should be supported)
