I reviewed this thread and realized you haven't gotten anywhere. Unfortunately, reassembly of your array is not likely to be automatic. Raid10 in default form cannot tolerate adjacent failures, so the fact that you lack indices 1 & 2 suggest your data is lost. More, very detailed data will be needed. Please start with the complete output of "mdadm -E" for all of the affected partitions, "smartctl -x" for all of the drives they're on, and if you have it, a copy of the LVM backup file that describes that part of your system.
