I've got a Mac Pro 7,1 with a 2TB and I want to break that RAID 0 array into their two respective 1TB drives, is this achievable or am I stuck with the raid array.

The fact that the SSD inside the Mac Pro happens to be on 2 separate modules is invisible to the operating system, so no, you can't split them the way you'd like. What is it you're looking to accomplish by doing this?

OK thanks for answering my question!

Honestly I wanted to put macOS on one side and Bootcamp on the other for an even split, but it's not a big deal if I can't do it.

For whatever reason the Bootcamp Setup Software in macOS refuses to let me split the volume by even numbers, madness!

I wouldn't worry about the partitions being exactly split. Windows and macOS don't even report disk usage the same way. Letting the Bootcamp Utility do the partitioning will work fine without you needing to worry whether or not the partitions are on each separate drive.
If the data were split onto each disk module somehow, disk speeds would be halved, so that's not really an advantage.
