Terry,
It is (data/parity)>=2. You can very well create 4+2 or 8+4 volume.
Are you seeing any error message that you can not create 4+2 config? (4 = data brick and 2 = redundancy brick count)

Thanks Ashish, Cedric, for your comments.

I’m no longer concerned about my choice of 4 nodes to start, but, I realize that there’s an issue with my subvolume config options. Turns out only my 8+3 choice is permitted, as the 4+2 and 8+4 options violate the data/parity>2 rule. So, 8+3 it is, as 8+2 isn’t quite enough redundancy for me.
Regards,
Terry

So the granularity of the evolution of the cluster is fixed at the beginning.Cheers
