Ok, then /dev/sdc will not be removed.

I don't consider that as a "special set-ups". As I wrote some time ago, if you
create mdraid out of the 2 raw partitions, you create mdraid meta data to the
*partitions*. This is dead wrong, the raw disk partitions should never be used
when the disks are part of a raid set.
