I would suggest to check out the Reed-Solomon thing
in the more friendly form of Vandermonde matrix.

It will be completely clear how to generate k parity
set with n data set (disk), so that n+k < 258 for the
GF(256) space.

It will also be much more clear how to re-construct
the data set in case of erasure (known data lost).

You can have a look, for reference, at:

If you search for something like "Reed Solomon Vandermonde"
you'll find even more information.

Hope this helps.

bye,
