You mean setup raid0 with md(4) device to get more than 16TB? Sure, at
least with gstripe:

ragepxe:root:~# diskinfo -v /dev/stripe/foo
/dev/stripe/foo
        512             # sectorsize
        2111062324805632        # mediasize in bytes (1.9P)
        4123168603136   # mediasize in sectors

1.9 Petabytes will be enough?:) Hehe, great fun BTW.:)
