man: lvmraid(7): Unclear description for number of devices for raid10 type LV RAID and --stripes

Hi

The manpage lvmraid(7) states for raid10 type raid:

       --stripes NumberStripes
              specifies the total number of devices to use in all raid1 images (not the number of  raid1  devices  to
              spread  the  LV across, even though that is the effective result).  The number of devices in each raid1
              mirror will be NumberStripes/(NumberMirrors+1), e.g. mirrors 1 and stripes 4 will  stripe  data  across
              two raid1 mirrors, where each mirror is devices.

The last sentence is unclear and should for the example case mention that each mirror has 2 devices.
