Whether or not your VPC can have subnets in multiple regions is entirely unrelated to security.

I meant failure blast radius. Having isolated regions is a core part of the AWS reliability design. AWS has had entire regions fail but these failure have always been isolated to a single region. Global VPCs must rely on globally connected routers that can all fail in ways AWS regional VPCs can't.
