if they will need that, they will find a method long ago. but they try to minimize amount of data read/written for every transaction. look up for example "pyramid codes" - it's a way to use 20 disks in raid system but read/write only 5-6 for any operation. and MS use that in azure afaik
with 2000 data blocks you will need to read back all those datya blocks to generate new parity when any of these data blocks was changed. and this decreases overall perfromance 2000 times. so you should see why they need those pyrammid codes rather than something on opposite side
