Well, either let l2tpd assign VPN users IP addresses from the LAN subnet
(10.0.0.0/8, apparently). Or drop the split tunnelling. Or use DHCP Inform
to set a static route to 10.0.0.0/8 on the clients.

Regarding DHCP Inform, Wolfgang "wogri" Hennerbichler has described
such a setup at http://www.wogri.at/RoadWarrior-VPN.249.0.html
There's a couple of other things that are worth mentioning but
I have not yet put them on my webpage. It's a bit hack-ish at
the moment.

You would need to exclude all your internal subnets, i.e.
add %v4:!172.16.10.0/24 and remove %v4:10.0.0.0/8.
