Minor point - you have one duplicate line there ". f  f ." which is the 
second and last line of the second group.  No effect on anything else in 
the discussion.

Trying to help thinking about odd numbers of disks, if you are still 
allowing only one disk to fail, then you can think about mirroring half 
disks, so each disk has half of it mirrored to a different disk, instead 
of drives always being mirrored in pairs.
