You should have provided disklabels, but let's read your mind. Do not stripe b partitions. 'b' is sacred, do not put other things on it. You should have striped the d/e/j paritions to create a softraid sd3, then disklabel that and use sd3b for swap. I really don't think striping swap is worthwhile however. Buy more memory.
