What version of mdadm do you have installed (the bottom of the man
page will tell you).
My v2.6.2 manpage mentions raid10 5 times, and "man md" mentions it 9
times. 
If you have a recent mdadm and there was some particular place in the
man page were you were looking and didn't find raid10, please let me
know and I will try to improve that part of the documentation.

Thanks,
