More info from the same guide, page 59: "The command also warns you about 
creating a mirrored or RAID-Z pool using devices of different sizes. While this 
configuration is allowed, mismatched levels of redundancy result in unused 
space on the larger device, and requires the -f option to override the warning."

Given the above, I am guessing that my options are actually different than I 
initially thought.

Option 1: One four-way RAID-Z2 configuration. This is no longer possible 
because the drives are of a different size and you can not create a RAIDZ2 or 
even a RAIDZ configuration with only 2 drives.

Option 2: Two two-way mirrors using dynamic striping. Still possible.

Another option would be:
Option 3: One 4 disk stripe, with 2 User Copies running. I guess the downside 
of this is you don't really know where the copies end up (at least I don't 
think you do).
