Normal RAID 10 requires at least 4, but Linux MD RAID 10 only needs two (and can work on uneven numbers like 3), and it has the option of 'near', 'offset', and 'far' layouts. I'm not sure how much of that, if any, you'd want to put in the standard installer.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_RAID_levels#Linux_MD_RAID_10 and the man page for mdadm.
