Is there any way to span the native datastore across multiple

No. Implement it at the operating system level if you absolutely need
to. There is no reason to stripe it over multiple drives apart from
storage space, it doesn't need that sort of speed. Or you could just run
two nodes.
At the operating system level wouldn't I need to create 256 separate
filesystems, one for each directory in the store directory?  Not very
practical.  I'm not trying to do it for perfomance.  I want to add space to
my store, but I don't have just one large drive, I have several smaller
ones.

I suppose running a second node on the same box would be possible, but it
seems inefficient.

Not if you are using linux.  There you would:
stop freenet
move half the dirs in your current store to a new location
create links to the new location in the store directory
restart freenet

Ah, good idea. Hadn't thought of doing it with sym-links. (Don't know why, I've done it before. Duh.)
