You can get back your 4GB spare, since you only need one spare. The spare only has to be the same size of the largest data disk in the system. If you have a 9GB spare and a 4GB disk fails, you end up adding 5 GB to the filesystem when the spare replaces the failed disk.

No, you end up putting 4GB on a 9GB drive and getting no more space in the file system than you had before. (If there are multiple spares in the system, the smallest one which is large enough to replace the failed drive will be used.)
That's a shame.
Is this information documented somewhere?
