You can't remove it directly, but you certainly can *replace* it with a
larger drive. If this is critical data, then obviously back up first, and
test these steps on alternate storage.

The easiest thing would be to replace s0 with s6.
You'll be 128mb shy of the full disk, but that's a drop in the bucket.
The command would be:
zpool replace mypool emcpower2a emcpowerXX
where XX is the name of slice 6. You should see the new size right away.
Another option would be to use a different drive, formatted to give you
the entire disk, and then do a replace of emcpower2a with emcpower3a.
Then you could repartition 2 properly, and repalce 3 with 2.
