I think that's too dangerous, and can get complex e.g. with nested RAID
levels.

And why do the calculations/operations on every boot?  Why not write
a script that should be run once, to assist setting up the right sdXb
partitions based on the given swap-on-raid cnofiguration?  Then the
admin should review that just once and put it in the disklabel.
