Yup.. The biggest RAID box I've setup does just that... 4 RAID 5 sets, all
tied together in a RAID 0. (the RAID 0 is configured from /etc/raid2.conf,
which is configured after raids 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are auto-configured.

Just have put the script you used to configure the raid10 in as /etc/
raid2.conf (or whatever) and it'll just work...
