Does a single bit error during a raid 5 rebuild break the entire array? if so, why? If a single block of data was corrupted/misread during the rebuild, would that not simply result in one block of corrupt data on the newly rebuilt drive?

Since RAID5 maintains parity bits on one drive, a one bit error would affect only that particular bit on the other drives. So, all other data is safe.
