The redundancy is provided by all the data disk plus the parity disk(s). If you only have one parity, then you only have redundancy for one missing disk. Dual parity allows 2 missing disks. If you have more disks then you have more of a chance of having more failures than redundancy can recover from.
And bad disks aren't the only thing to consider. Bad connections or cables (power and data), bad ports or controllers, are much more frequently the problems we help users with than actual bad disks, especially when they are first getting the kinks worked out.
