In "real" networks I usually solve this with more-specific routes - that
is, the primary connection is routed
 
  192.168.10.0/25
  192.168.10.128/25

and the backup connection is routed

  192.168.10.0/24

so when both are connected, there is clear preference to the primary link.

Now, I have no idea whether OpenVPN's iroute code will actually get this
right.  Worth a test.
