RAID5 is one of the levels that can be added to after creation. I think you should boot from the install CD and read the mdadm man page. It contains all the information you need to do what you want. That said, when you try to build the 4-drive array, do you get any errors reported? You may need to

Can you add a drive to an array after it has been built? I know you can add a hot spare, or remove a drive and add another, but I did not think you could increase N, where the size of the array is N-1 * size of each drive. How is the raid going to know which is data and which is parity? Of course

I guess you'll need to replace kinit, or else include the mount command in your own script and skip the normal mount command. Looking at how something like this is handled in the hooks in archiso or larch might help you.
