Hello Angel.

 

As far as I know, F5 only uses one of those virtual disks that you have mentioned.

Actually, F5 uses LVM to create those boot locations that will be using when you perform an upgrade, but all of them are partitions that reside in the same disk. If you are familiar with LVM, I guess you can manually include one of those secondary disks inside of your 'pvs' to get more space, but it's not an official procedure.
