Woops, that should be "mirror of stripes".

By the way, what you are thinking of is possible, it would be 51 (five 
one; a raid 5 built on mirrors) or 15 (a mirror of raid 5 arrays). 
Always be careful, 10 and 01 are also not the same. You want to think 
carefully about what you want out of your array before building it.
