I'd do something like this:

da0 - 120GB disk
da1 - 120GB disk
da2 - 300GB disk

da2a - 240GB partition
da2d - 60GB partition

concat( stripe( concat(da0, da1), da2a ), da2d)

In other words:

	# gconcat C0 da0 da1
	# gstripe S0 concat/C0 da2a
	# gconcat C1 stripe/S0 da2d
	# newfs -U /dev/concat/C1

This way you have 240GB in stripe and only 60GB without stripe (so
slower).

Yes, you can do this with GEOM:)
