A stripe of three-way mirrors works:

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: mithril:/boot/zfsloader
boot: status
pool: mithril
config:

                    NAME      STATE
                 mithril     ONLINE
                  mirror     ONLINE
            label/mithril-0     ONLINE
            label/mithril-1     ONLINE
            label/mithril-2     ONLINE
                  mirror     ONLINE
            label/mithril-3     ONLINE
            label/mithril-4     ONLINE
            label/mithril-5     ONLINE
