Sure, but I wouldn't do it. Just put identically-sized slices (say, 2 TB or maybe 1 TB) on all of your disks, as many as will fit on each physical disk. Next, create mirrored pairs from two slices residing on different physical disks. You then have a slice-only pool using all of your storage (assuming there is an even number of slices available). Yes, performance will not be stellar but you have put your disks to good use and have some measure of redundancy.
