Hi,
you may not be able to do a mirrorvg but I cannot see what would prevent you from mirroring the lv's (except the backup lv) after adding the smaller disk to rootvg - and then simply do a new bosboot on both disks and create a new bootlist ?
You could as well take (for safety purposes) take a mksysb from rootvg and exclude the backup filesystem.
