If I understand you correctly, you need 2 copies of every file in filesystem (which has 10disks), right? Then yes, unify over afr is able to give you a solution. Unify (afr1 (brick1,brick2),afr2(brick3,brick4),afr3(brick5,brick6), afr4(brick7,brick8),afr5(brick9,brick10)) This should work fine for you.
