Ouch!
Have you done ANYTHING to md0 or the underlying devices since then??
I believe that md0 uses an on-disk block for tracking meta information, but that essentially, the underlying partitions are simply kept in sync as normal filesystems are. Translation: you can directly mount the underlying file system. If they're not too out-of-sync, you can just fsck and mount. If the fsck fails at first because the md0 blasted it (unlikely), you can just use a backup superblock and specify that to fsck.

mountall(8) System Manager's Manual mountall(8)
NAME
mountall - Mount filesystems during boot
SYNOPSIS
mountall [OPTIONS]...
DESCRIPTION
mountall reads fstab(5) and calls fsck(8), mount(8) and swapon(8) in the correct order to mount filesystems once the underlying devices
have been created by udevd(8).
This is a temporary tool until init(8) itself gains the necessary flexibility to perform this processing; you should not rely on its behav-
iour.
OPTIONS
--daemon
Detach and run in the background.
--force-fsck
Force check of all filesystems.
--fsck-fix
Attempt to fix all fsck errors.
--no-events
Do not emit events after mounting filesystems.
--dev-wait-time=value (in seconds)
In case of bootwait or timeout: specify the time to wait for device to be detected. The default is 30 seconds. Legal values are
between 1 and 2147483647 seconds.
-q, --quiet
Reduce output to errors only.
-v, --verbose
Increase output to include informational messages.
--help Display this help and exit.
