The original poster was asking about a zpool of more than 1 mirrored pair (4 disks making up 2 mirrored pairs, for example). I don't know if that changes the answer (doubtful), but raidz/raidz2 was not being discussed. "one top-level vdev" means that a root pool can be composed of no more than one mirrored pair (or mirrored triple, or whatever). That might change in the future, but there is no projected date for relaxing that constraint.

A root pool is composed of one top-level vdev, which can be a mirror (i.e. 2 or more disks). A raidz vdev is not supported for the root pool yet. It might be supported in the future, but the timeframe is unknown at this time.

Are there plans to provide this functionality, and if so does anyone know what the general timeframe is?
