raid 5 using solaris 9 LVM

if i want to create a raid 5 device on 3 disks I have, can I make multiple metadevices? all the example i see on the internet make use of the slice 2 placing the entire disk into the raid5 device.

what if i make 3 identical slices on each disk, and make 3 raid 5 metadevices? will that work?
