Ugh.  Yes. offset is linux extension.

But md raid 10 with default, n2 (without offset), configuration will behave
exactly like in "classic" docs.

Again.  Linux md raid10 module implements standard raid10 as known in
all widely used docs.  And IN ADDITION, it can do OTHER FORMS, which
differs from "classic" variant.  Pretty like a hardware raid card from
a brand vendor probably implements their own variations of standard
raid levels.
