Does *anyone's* RAID implementation actually support multiple rows per 
stripe?  Conceptually, it's even tricky to wrap your head around simply 
because a single-row stripe is trivial to visualize or draw a diagram 
of.

In other words, I'm not sure you're creating an actual problem by 
removing that code :-)
