Currently you can't write simultaneously with a single configuration at
the same time.

Chg-multi is something that may help you. But it doesn't work with
different sized tapedrives, because there is only one tapetype option you
can specify.

You can setup RAIT:

But currently only 3 or 5 drive sets are supported.
