You could move the data elsewhere using zfs send and recv, destroy the
original datasets and then recreate them.  This would stripe the data across
the vdevs.  Of course, when BP-rewrite becomes available it should be
possible to simply redistribute blocks amongst the various vdevs without
having to go through destroying/creating.
