Okay so riddle me this - can I create a raidz2 using the new disks and move all the data from the existing zdev to it. Then recreate a raidz2 this time using the old 7 disks ?

And have them all stay in the same Zpool?

You will have to create a new pool, creating a raidz2 in the new pool using the new disks, copying the data from the old pool to the new, pool, then destroying the old pool, and creating a second raidz2 in the new pool using the old disks.

If you already have a lot of data, the end result will have more data on one raidz2 vdev than the other.
