It's ok not to use the outmost combinations since they overlap with some of the big-big.

I have 12-34t 10 speed cassette with 24/44t chainrings. It gives me 519% range with 14-72.6 gear inches on 406x2.1 tires. I mixed my cassette to get 12,13,14,15,17,19,21,24,28,34. This gives me preferred closer stepping at the top and much wider at the bottom. The 20t jump at the front is fine as long as I use a chain catcher. SRAM yaw FD comes with one. The yaw design also makes it so that trim is not necessary but you may need to widen the cage, I had a thread explaining how to do this.
