I believe RDS automatically stripes EBS volumes under the hood, but don't expose that information to you unless you enable enhanced metrics (it's shown under "Physical Device I/O", where you can infer the number of volumes in the stripe). I have no idea when the striping kicks in - presumable some specific volume size for gp2, or some provisioned IOPS setting.
According to the link below, provisioned IOPS tops out at 256000:
