On a 4 by 4 grid, with a large creature in the center.
Squares are labeled by number in clock-wise order starting in the top
left corner.
ex:
01 2 3 4
12 x x 5
11 x x 6
10 9 8 7
Are positions 5 & 10 flanking?
Positions 6 & 10 and 5 & 9 I would presume are not flanking, but from my reading of the rules, 5 & 10 would be flanking.

5 & 10 are not flanking. The key text is: "When in doubt about whether two characters flank an opponent in the middle, trace an imaginary line between the two attackers' centers. If the line passes through opposite borders of the opponent's space (including corners of those borders), then the opponent is flanked." The line from the center of 5 to the center of 10 exits the large creature into square 9, not into square 10. To flank with square 10, the attacker would need to be in square 4.

I say no, but I can't seem to find proof of that scenario to rules lawyer this particular case.
Actually, 12 flanks with both 5 & 6, and so does 11.
Per the rules quoted by Howie23: "When in doubt about whether two characters flank an opponent in the middle, trace an imaginary line between the two attackers' centers. If the line passes through opposite borders of the opponent's space (including corners of those borders), then the opponent is flanked."
