I have a thunderbay 4, but currently have only 2 disks. I understand that softraid has a limitation where I cannot add disks to a raid5 later. But can I create 4 volumes in the 2 disks, and then later when I add another disk, simply move one of the volumes from one disk to the new one? And then resize accordingly

Sorry, there is no way around this like that.

Hopefully you have a backup system, so you can use that when it is time.
