It's not difficult to get a drive to manually spin down, but I'm not 100% sure it can be done on software raid array that is mounted (even if it's not being accessed). I would check the hdparm and sdparm commands, you can force a drive to go to sleep or spindown with that application. You can also use /sys/class/scsi_device/... to accomplish the same thing if you are using SCSI or SATA drives on a recent kernel.
