I must keep the drives separate, yet not in any RAID

"C"

If the card supports 24 single drive spans, you would end
up
with drive letters C through Z. If the manual does not
make
both the factor of using single drive spans, AND
supporting
24 of them clear, contact the manufacturer.

Is this feature not what they call "JBOD" (Just a Bunch Of
Disks)?

I don't think so. I think that JBOD links the disks together
into a single virtual drive.
