Hi Lum,

As Shayle states this is a rather odd stackup, and I would certainly not recommend it unless I was under duress to comply. This will not get you the impedance control you're after unless you take some severe steps to control it
layer by layer (i.e. differential pairings). I'd suggest the following stackup design:

L1 : signal
L2 : GND
L3: signal
L4: signal
L5: +5V
L6: GND
L7: signal
L8: signal
L9: +2.5V
L10 : signal

Good luck,
