I thought you wanted the raid10 array for /home or /data or whatever.
That's pretty messy, actually, even on Fedora 18/19 which has the
benefit of a new anaconda and GRUB2.
GRUB2 definitely can assemble md raid10, and read most any file
system, find /boot, and load the kernel and initramfs.
That's not something I think GRUB Legacy can do, which is what CentOS
6 is using.

I'm unsure of your use case, but I'm thinking you may be better off
with a small SSD for the boot, swap and system disk,
and then use a separate raid10 array for /home, /opt, /data, whatever
else you want.
Otherwise it's a bit of a rabbit hole.
Fair enough then.
What about partitioning the drives first, installing a smallish
partition for boot, then a second much larger partition on each for the
RAID10?
Do you think that the CentOS installer and GRUB would have any issues
with that layout?
Thanks Chris.
