Raid 10 requires at least 4 drives. and then it needs even numbers of disks to 
grow.  so you could do 4,6,8,10,12  etc.  an odd disk is should only be used 
as a hot spare.  otherwise it would cause degregation to the array

md1 : active raid10 sda2[0] sdd2[3] sdc2[2] sdb2[1]
      624623104 blocks 256K chunks 2 near-copies [4/4] [UUUU]

looks like its right to me.  this box was installed F-8  and was yum updated 
to rawhide.    my box with raid 10 is using the raid 10 module.  i have 
4x320gb drives and get great performance out of the array.

hdparm -tT /dev/md1

/dev/md1:
 Timing cached reads:   4868 MB in  1.99 seconds = 2441.54 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  256 MB in  3.02 seconds =  84.75 MB/sec
