You need to move 59604 extents but you only have 116 free on the
destination.

You have space in the filesystem, but the volume containing that
filesystem is too large to move. You must first reduce the filesystem
size, with resize2fs or whatever suits your fs, then shrink the LV with
lvresize. That will free up enough extents to be able to fit them all on
one disk.

Look at the output from lvs to see what is taking up all the space.
