That's why I was asking about the generator. Theoretically, this situation might be countered by using a (pseudo-)random pattern of generators for the different bytes of a sector, though I'm not sure whether it is worth the effort.
Changing the generator is mathematically equivalent to changing the order of the drives, so no, that wouldn't help (and would make the common computations a lot more expensive.)
