Only the first 8 disk (on the first controller?) show up in grub:

grub rescue> ls
(md/0) (hd0) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) (hd1) (hd1,gpt2) (hd1,gpt1) (hd2)
(hd2,gpt2) (hd2,gpt1) (hd3) (hd3,gpt2) (hd3,gpt1) (hd4) (hd4,gpt2)
(hd4,gpt1) (hd5) (hd5,gpt2) (hd5,gpt1) (hd6) (hd6,gpt2) (hd6,gpt1) (hd7)
(hd7,gpt2) (hd7,gpt1)

There should be another 8 disks. Now i wonder if this is GRUB at fault
or the controller not publishing its disks properly(?). I'll look into
the controller settings...
