If you use the 10" plate, check that the inner diameter of the friction material on the disc is not smaller than the inner diameter of the face of the pressure plate, otherwise you will end up with a step worn into the friction material which either will or could cause clutch problems down the line - why take the risk.
It is true that 10" discs with 23 planes are not readily available, although they can be made up to order. The 9.5" disc from Ford Granada/Scorpio V6 and from Rover SD1 V8 models will fit and are readily available.
The 9 1/2" clutch plate sits inside the milled face of the both the pressure plate and flywheel so no step will be formed.
