As amount invested in Bonds is in 2 different financial years will my capital gain accrued in FY 2010/11 be entirely exempted?

Yes you can get the exemption on entire amount as the time limit is 6 months from the date of transfer. there is no restriction of financial year.
And according to me, you can claim simultaneous exemptions under section 54 and sec 54EC, as no where it is clarified that these two sections are mutually exclusive.
