Sorry, Riemann geometry describes curved space with N (N any positive integer) dimensions without assuming N+1 dimensions. A curved N space needs not N+1 flat space, even if the picture help the mind to see what is space curvature. General Relativity is built on 4 curved dimensions and needs not a 5th for example ( there is even strong cases for disregarding a 5th dimension).
