zfs-inplace-rebalancing
Simple bash script to rebalance pool data between all mirrors when adding vdevs to a pool.

To get the new parity/data ratios, you would have to force copies of the data and delete the old, inefficient versions, e.g. with something like this [1]
My personal take is that it's a much better idea to buy individual complete raid-z configurations and add new ones / replace old ones (disk by disk!) as you go.
