Is it possible to merge volumes?

Scenario:
Disk A volumes:
Boot (2TB), Data1 (1TB), Data2 (500GB), Data3 (500GB)

I would like the end result to be:
Disk A volumes:
Boot (2TB), Data (2TB)

Both Disk A & B are identical SoftRAID volumes.

You cannot merge volumes, but you may be able to accomplish what you want.

IF you know that you created them in that order:
Boot
Data1
Data2
Data3

Then you can backup data2/3, delete both volumes, and "resize volume" Data1, to 2TB.

This can be done with mirror volumes.

Only the last volume on a disk can be expanded. SoftRAID does not attempt to move data around to "fill a gap" in partition space.
