No! You will not be able to recover anything by copying a partition table from one RAID disk to another. On the contrary, you'll make the situation much worse.
What is the type of the RAID and what happened with it? If it's RAID5 or alike, one missing disk makes no problem in data recovery.

Creating .dsk images in r-studio is taking a very long time. I was hoping it would skip over the bad sectors on the drive but it appears to just keep trying forever. Is there a way to force it to skip over/ignore them and continue?
Check that the Read attempts parameter is set to 0 on the Advanced tab of the Create Image dialog box. If it's already 0, that is the maximum speed of disk copy. R-Studio accesses disks through the operating system. Read more about this on the R-Studio on-line help:
Images.

You may do that but that will worsen the situation.
