Each vn* device has to be baced by a physical file on the system.
Simply make sure that this physical device is the maximum size you want
to allow in the jail.
For example, on a server with 160GB of (RAID) disk, and 12 jails, each 10GB
in size, I just have 12 jails;
On the 'master' host for the jails.
# cd /usr/local/jails/disk-images
# ls -l

These were created with "truncate 10G file", and are then mounted
configued on different vn* devices, which are then mounted as normal.
