Depending on how the failed drives failed, you may wish to try to
resuscitate them instead. If the failed disks are still detectable by
the controller, you can try using dd_rescue and dd_rhelp on a separate
system or a livecd to recover as much as possible to spare disks, and
using the spare disks in place of the failed disks.. You may also have
some luck by going to a data recovery company.
I think the best practice is to use no more than 6-8 drives in a single
raid5 array, to control the risk of 2 drives failing before recovery can
happen. Sorry to be telling you this after disaster struck.
I do appreciate the advice.
