Yep it probably isn't clear enough, it does mention stuff about spreading it
across vdevs, but doesn't say striped. But that's sun for you.

The man page should probably be bsdified more as its more or less pulled
from solaris. Note the devices don't look anything like bsd ones (c0t0d0)

Yeah, I sorta suspected that might be the case.

This isn't documented - at least not in my copies of the manual
page. Not being able to find that was the only reason to even consider
mixing technologies like that.
