RAID10 = RAID1+0. It works fine with 2 disks. I was able to create it first with one drive missing and then add the second, which sync'ed without problems.
Question is not "does it work", question is "does it make any sense?" You can either create raid0 strip with two partitions on the same disk (e.g. sda1+sda2) and mirror that rai0-strip on the second drive, but where is then your performance gain you'd expect from raid0? Or you can create raid0 with partitions on both drives (sda1+sdb1) and "mirror" it on the second set of partitions on the same drives. But then you do not have any protection from total disk failure you'd normally expect from raid1. Only some very little protection against a sector failure. Plus two equally strange configurations where you first create raid1-mirrors and then strip them to raid0. Doing raid10 (or raid01) with only 2 disks is imho not a good idea...
