Here is the information of the created raid0. Hope it is enough.

The crashing one:
md: bind<sdd>
md: bind<sde>
md: raid0 personality registered for level 0
md0: setting max_sectors to 4096, segment boundary to 1048575
raid0: looking at sde
raid0:   comparing sde(5859284992) with sde(5859284992)
raid0:   END

No...
When a raid0 array is assemble, quite a lot of message get printed
about number of zones and hash_spacing etc.  Can you collect and post
those.  Both for the failing case (2*5.5T) and the working case
(4*2.55T) is possible.
