No, this isn't possible unless you start considering software raid 0 on top of 2 virtual disks on 2 different arrays, but that is a really (really) bad idea.
If you need more performance than an MD3000i can offer, get a faster SAN. Dell has the MD3200i, MD3220i, Dell Equallogic (I'd go with a PS6000-series instead of a PS4000-series for more iSCSI ports), or Dell|EMC (CX4-120 or higher).
Actually you can. You can use LVM under linux to create software raid 10 on top of your MD3000i systems. It isn't the best solution, but it's possible.
Like I said; "that is a really (really) bad idea".
LVM is more stable that Microsoft's dynamic disk, but using LVM on iSCSI (network-connected) disks on 2 different SANs it just a disaster waiting to happen.
