Yes - as a single RAID-0 volume.
Note however it is not recommended as you are doubling the risk of drive failure compromising *all* your data (ie one drive failure would result in data loss from both drives). Better to configure each drive as a separate RAID-0 volume so that if a drive fails, you only lose the data on that specific drive

No - 2TB max as for internal drives
