For smearing read striping.
I think 'recovery (unlikely)' means a problem during recovery is unlikely.
I think RAID 3/4/5 can be better that nothing, they're not completely worthless, but come with significant down sides compared to better schemes that make them undesirable these days. The I in RAID was put there back when disks were many orders of magnitude more expensive than today, it's just a false economy not going to RAID10 or some other better scheme.
