Jmke over at Madshrimps.be has put the question of optimal Raid 0 stripe size for SSDs in its final resting place. His article published today summarizes the results of over 1200 benchmark runs!
Madshrimps.be:
We all know that two is better than one, we have dual core CPUs, dual GPU video cards, and if you really want to get the most out of your storage, a set of SSDs in RAID will boost your performance noticeably. We tested 6 different RAID stripe sizes and 3 different RAID configs in 4 different storage benchmarks, some synthetic, others real world operations. More than 1200 benchmarks results summed up in a few charts.
A good read, and really dedicated work running the tests! Thanks jmke!

I wonder why HDTune was used seeing as how the results are not consistent and tend to be inaccurate... Unless there is a newer version out???
