Adding Drive to Storage Spaces and Changing to Parity from Mirrored

Hello,

I have a Windows 8.1 computer with three hard drives.  The C: drive is the boot drive, and one internal 2 TB and one external 3 TB.  I'm currently running the latter two drives in a Storage Spaces mirrored configuration, which wastes the additional 1 TB.  If I add one more external USB 3.0 drive which is 4 TB, can I reconfigure the Storage Spaces to be a parity pool with all three?  Or would I have to mirror the 3 TB to the 4 TB and lose the 2 TB?  What would you suggest is the optimal configuration to set up, get a 5 TB drive and mirror between them?

Also, is there a way to boot from a Storage Spaces pool?  Or does the C: drive have to be NTFS and not be part of Storage Spaces?

Thanks for your help.
