Sorry for the noise,

I already tried that and it broke the RAID. Instead I shrunk the "Used
Dev Size" of each RAID member, like so (mdadm -E dev):

Avail Dev Size : 3907025072 (1863.01 GiB 2000.40 GB)
Used Dev Size : 3900702720 (1860.00 GiB 1997.16 GB)

I hope that should be OK. Thanks for all the info.
