Is this currently possible?

You may be able to do this my specifying a sparse file for the last
device, and then immediately issuing a "zpool offline" of it after the
pool is created.  It seems to work, and I was able to create a pool
that way with no complaints.

You can create a 400GB sparse file with something like:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=1 seek=400000 of=/path/to/vdev_file

Alternatively:
mkfile -n 400g
