Generally, it's just recommended that you compose things of smaller
sets of RAIDs for performance reasons, because you end up blocking on
how fast you can serialize data to multiple drives in some ways, and
the IO characteristics aren't necessarily what you want.

It's not a hard limit, just a suggestion for performance. Experiment
and post numbers!
