if you don't have an FMC to generate an FMC position from the IRSs and the GPS then you cannot be RNP-10.


Yes you can be RNP-10. In the following cases:

6.2 hours after placing IRU in navigation mode (pure inertial), or
5.9 hours after the last automatic DME/DME position update, or
5.7 hours after the last automatic VOR/DME position update.

The FMS continuosly monitors input from the available naviagtion sensors (radios, IRUs, and GNS) to compute a position and actual navigation performance "ANP" value in units of nautical miles. The FMS RNP function is used as a integrrity monitor for airplane position.

If the plane is certificated to fly in RNP-10 airspace then, you can fly without GPS for a flight time not to exceed:
6.2 hrs.
5.9 hrs.
5.7 hrs.
