The "industry standard" DDF format allows for a stripe/offset layout where
data is duplicated on different stripes. e.g.
A B C D
D A B C
E F G H
H E F G
(columns are drives, rows are stripes, LETTERS are chunks of data).
This is similar to raid10's 'far' mode, but not quite the same. So enhance
'far' mode with a 'far/offset' option which follows the layout of DDFs
stripe/offset.
