Hi, just wondering if I can get any ideas on my situation. I've used ZFS a lot 
with equal sized disks and am extremely happy / amazed with what it can offer. 
However I've encountered a few people who want to use ZFS but have a bunch of 
different disks but still want the max size of usable space possible.

Take an example:
3 x1TB and 2 x500GB disks. Is there any way the 2x500GB disks could be put into a stiped pool that could then be part of a 4 x1TB RAIDZ pool?

I expect that you could use Solaris Volume Manager (DiskSuite) to stripe the 2x500GB disks into a larger device, which could then be used as a single device by zfs.
