I'm running RAID to an external HDD and can confirm it works OK. Both of my drives spin down with my custom firmware.

I think if your external drive does not automatically spin down then you are indeed SOL. I tried to manually make my external drive spin down and was unsuccessful. It appears to be a generic Linux limitation in the the USB umass to SCSI translation layer.

My drive automatically spins down so this is not a problem for me.
