Can you please make a test case for that? I think the number of devices that can be lost can be higher than a half in some extreme cases: one device has copies of all stripes, 2nd copy can be scattered randomly on the other devices, but that's highly unlikely to happen. On average it's same as raid1, but the more exact check can potentially utilize the stripe layout.
