There is a way but I wouldn't recommend it. If you have lots of files on those drives now, it would require more effort to complete this than what it's really worth. If you were to do this, you would have to backup your data somewhere else, reformat, then when you partitioned your drives you would create them as dynamic disks. You could then add multiple disks together to create one logical disk from several physical ones. Then, everything is golden. However, say a disk dies on you. You would probably have to delete the volume you established and that would mean deleting the data. So, unless you've had your disks in this arrangement from the first time you plugged them in and you are very faithful in your drives, then this is just more trouble than what it's worth.
I'm not entirely sure but a RAID controller might also work and be a better option than converting to dynamic disks. However, I've never used RAID so you'd have to find out for yourself or ask someone who has experience with RAID.
