Can you partition a drive

and then run them in RAID 0

...no, and even if you could it would still be constrained by the physical limitations of the drive only now with extra overhead for splitting data into two parts

RAID is to combine a drive (D stands for drive/disk) not partition.

You raid it first and then you can partition it.

You can perfectly well, actually, if you don't use hardware-RAID. It wouldn't make much sense to do it, but it is entirely possible. Don't even need to use partitions; you can use loopback-devices and RAID those together.

Yep, you can do stupid stuff with software raid.

I remember making raid1 out of sd card partition and ramdisk on first raspberry pi, do not remember why though 😄
