In fact, from what I can see, they look like they upgraded to th 10 too early, making this base even more useful. With their weird setup, they got rid of much of the fear factor of an inferno (because it looks easy to get to the storages), meaning that lower levels (who will almost certainly fail) are more likely to attack them.
With a "normal" setup, many attackers would likely shy away from their base, leaving them wide open for an experienced attacker, who, given the levels of their defenses, would likely have little problem relieving them of their resources. Though their ingenious setup would not stop an experienced attacker (or even a mediocre one with the right army), they are much less likely to be attacked by such an attacker because their base looks so easy to beat. Though I would not advocate such a setup, one of the members in my clan (also a premature th 10) has one with a similar idea (though on a less dramatic scale) and has faired fairly well on defense. Thus, the setup, while not brilliant, is not as illogical as it seems at first glance.
