Expand non-storage space disk, to storage space

Hello.

At my private test setup, i have an single disk used for backup (not important) and some VHDXs for some VMs.

I just bought 2 more 4TB HGST disks, and now want to use the previous single disk + the 2 new ones as a Raid 5 (parity) volume.

The only problem is, that one of the VHDX files on the single HDD is 2,9TB in size, and i dont have any other storage where i can put the 2,9TB of files - while creating a new storage pool.

Is it possible to create a storage pool with 3 disks in it, and "merge" the data from the Single HDD to the new parity volume?
