You can add additional storage to the same pool effortlessly, such that the pool will be striped across two raidz:s. You cannot (AFAIK) expand the raidz itself. End result is 9 disks, with 7 disks worth of effective storage capacity. The ZFS administratiion guide contains examples of doing exactly this, except I believe the examples use mirrors.
