A friend of mine just set up a raid-5 server using software raid with
one large partition on each disk (and a small, non-raided but manually
mirrored boot partition on each drive). He then used some combination
of lvm + xfs to repartition that huge raid partition.

End result is raid-5 with software, and he can dynamically resize
partitions (no remounting required).

If you want more details, I can put you two in contact..
