Sorry, you've lost me?  How can I implement software RAID in Linux that 
Windows will use too?

That's the objective here, to create a bootable, shared Windows/Linux 
setup that uses the same container. Windows will use the container via 
its Intel driver and Linux will access it how? That's where I'm stuck, I 
was under the impression that I could access it through dmraid.

As I said, if I didn't want to dual boot and share, I'd be using Linux 
Software RAID quicker than you could blink.
