Ok, I think I am starting to see now. This PDC format is just really bad. Instead of having a single record that can define more than one array, and specifies the region of interest on each component disk like some of the more sane formats, it just defines additional complete records with all of the unused space that each one has, and raid.start defines the starting offset of the array, for all disks ( so they all start at exactly the same spot ). dmraid-pdc.tar appears to have been created by dmraid but it only dumped the first record. Your script dumped all 3 and they appear to be in metadata.tar.gz, but without the corresponding .offset files. I can't work out the original locations of each of the 3 records so that I can place them at the proper offset.
