RAID-5 requires at least three disks.  The only way that a RAID-5 array
can run with two disks is in "degraded" mode -- as if the third disk had
failed.  How did you create this thing?

That's relatively self-explanatory.  You're probably going to have to
dig up a third disk somewhere and add it to the array before it will
resync.

If the RAID device can't be started, then nothing built on it "exists".

Should be possible with a third disk.
