That's because your c0t8d0 disk has EFI label. with EFI label the
largest partiotion you can create is slightly smaller than the whole
disk (17 KB less to be exact). That causes the zpool attach command to
fail (you cannot mirror from a bigger disk to a smaller one). Another
thing is you probably do not want to EFI label on rpool devices
anyway, since you cannot boot from EFI label today.
You may use format -e command to change the label from EFI to SMI.

See - the label on this disk hints that it is EFI rather than SMI.
