Odd RAID Array types

Does anyone here use any "odd" raid configs, eg. RAID 100, RAID 1010, RAID105 etc.
I understand that some (eg. RAID 1010) are not practical, however it's interesting to see if anyone here uses a RAID array type other than the 'standard' 1-60

I've played with SW RAID 0+3.. but never really used the machine for anything. (6x40GB drives in an old server)
I wouldn't see the need to be using a non-standard RAID level, normal ones suit most needs fine.
was using 1E raid configuration
Isn't RAID 100 two RAID 10s put together into 1? (8 disks total)
That would be 101
So 4 RAID 10s would be RAID 1011?
Two RAID 10s in RAID 1 is RAID 101, TWo RAID10s in RAID 0 is RAID 100, and 4 RAID10s in RAID 10 would be RAID1010101010
Might as well call it raid level DR SEUSS
We run Raid-50 on some large storage nodes. Not that exotic but it's not that common either.
