I'd partition the array, rather than make separate raid10 arrays from partitions. It's certainly easier to manage if there are issues. If a drive dies, you replace that drive, whereas if you partition the drives you have to partition it exactly right, and then add the partitions as replacements for each array you've created. I think that's a hassle. The advantage of partitioning the drives with one partition (I'd use GPT for this), is that fdisk/gdisk/parted and other utils will see each drive as being partitioned (for linux software raid) rather than appearing as free space.
