You are confusing the data volume with the disk drives. Please read my previous reply, and if you find it confusing, ask some questions.
There only is one data volume with xraid. And with two drives, the size of that volume has to be the size of the smallest disk.
If you want to give up XRAID redundancy, you can switch to jbod. I sketched out how to do that in the earlier reply.
