Is there any case where RAID10 wouldn't provide better redundancy?

(Justification: if RAID6 = RAID5 + extra parity layer, why not have
RAID5[n] = RAID5 + n*parity layers over N+n disks?  The limit of this
as n->N is a RAID10 array.  Seems like RAID10 is the way to go, unless
you want to lose more than half of your space to parity)
