That'll work fine. I believe all data on the shared partition will be 777 if you use VFAT32, as IIRC the FAT filesystems don't support security descriptors. The big question is how are you doing RAID? Is it real hardware RAID, fake RAID (software RAID w/ some hardware assistance), or Linux software RAID. Only the first two will work, as Linux will usually support the fake raid drivers, but Windows won't like linux md. You don't really need to make a scratch partition though, as ntfs3g does fine at reading/writing NTFS data. At home I have 2X250 fake raid0 for windows, and 2x250 fake raid0 for linux, and just mount the windows partition and throw stuff I want to share directly into a folders on the NTFS side.
