That's a lot of talking without an answer :)

RAIDZ uses disk space like RAID5.  So the best you could do here for redundant 
space is (160 * 4 or 5)-160, and then use the remaining spaces as non-redundant 
or mirrored.

If you want to play with opensolaris and zfs you can do so easily with a vmware 
or parallels virtual machine.  It sounds like that is all you want to do right 
now.
