You don't need to newfs it; data will be destroyed by raidctl -C anyway.
raidctl -C complains that component are not clean because the raidframe header
in each component has not been initialised yet. Should work fine after
that.

The partition type for FFS is 4.2BSD. If you put a FFS on a partition
it's normal to have the type set to 4.2BSD.
