Not true. 4 & 5 may have been added initially as a mirror, then 5
detached from the mirror and later added as a single drive (rather than
reattached to 4 as a mirror again).   

It can be easy to confuse "add" and "attach" commands.

Yes, attach 2 new disks, one to each of 4 and 5, to turn those
vdevs (back) into mirrors.

Unfortunately, yes, if you can't attach more disks, this is necessary,
since it's not currently possible to remove a top-level vdev.
