I'm not familiar with setting up raid or removing raid. Would rm 
/dev/md0 remove the raid information from the disk? Or could you choose 
the md0 device using the select feature of parted?

I'm curious and this is not at all recommended advice.

Excerpt from info parted:

2.4.15 select
-------------

  -- Command: select DEVICE
      Selects the device, DEVICE, for Parted to edit.  The device can be
      a Linux hard disk device, a partition, a software RAID device or
      LVM logical volume.

      Example:

           (parted) select /dev/hdb
