So if the legs are splayed 10 degree then what angle should the legs
be ripped at, they should not be square but more of a paralellogram
when viewed end on and then would the feet be mitered and beveled at
10 as well?

I'll bite... :)
What does the stand it's sitting on have to do with whether the planer
snipes or not?

At least some stands have in/outfeed tables that can be tilted slightly
so that the stock enters/exits the planer at a slight angle relative to
horizontal. This counteracts the tendency to snipe.

A few years ago Norm made a nice basic stand with splayed legs. Does
anyone know what angles to use for the legs and stretchers when they are
to be splayed?
I didn't use plans when I made mine. I just used two pieces of
plywood for the sides, tied together with a "box" at the bottom (to hold
spare blades, etc.), and a piece of plywood on top - all glue fastening.
Very steady, no problems, planer is bolted down. However, I did make it
short enough to use while sitting - bad back and can't take standing
long using it. I never make stuff like that from plans.

When in doubt, go to sleep.

Check our Wood Magazine's plan for a planer stand. I built it and I feel
it's better than Norm's. I have never gotten any snipe using it.

I don't know anything about the angles for the planer stand, but I built a
wheeled cart (24" deep x 48" wide) and have my planer bolted to one end of
that. My benchtop drill press is mounted on the other end. I added a couple
of drawers underneath to keep my drill bits and accessories, and sanding
supplies in the second one. I store miscellanous items in the space under
the drawers.
Since the cart is on wheels I can easily roll it out when I need it, and
store it up against a wall when I'm not. Works great!

10 degrees as well unless your floor is not level and you are wanting to
compensate for that as too.
