No, it should not. And devfs, for once, has nothing to do with it.
RAID devices (md*) have _one_ (1) minor allocated to each. Consequently,
they could not be partitioned by any kernel - there is no device numbers
to be assigned to their partitions.

and what device numbers, in your experience, do these partitions get?
