Hypothetically, yes.  In practical terms, though, I've seen more than
300 MB/s of I/O over it:
                capacity     operations    bandwidth
pool          used  avail   read  write   read  write

Note that the pool is only doing 200 MB/s, but the individual devices
are doing a total of 400 MB/s.  It's not possible to put more than 300
MB/s into or out of a single device, so there's no "link aggregation"
to worry about.
