Jim,
 
Short of backing up the data, and then restoring pieces to individual 
drives, you cannot. 
 
The reason for this is not arbitrary. Files on disks in a volume set may 
cross disk boundaries, and their is no way, short of an exhaustive scan of 
all files in the set, to fix the problem (theoretically it could be done, 
but one would have to be VERY VERY careful -- Please note that I have done 
some wild things with FILES-11, and I am being very cautious).
 
I hope that the above is helpful. If I have been unclear, or can be of 
additional assistance, please feel free to contact me via Email or phone.
 
- Bob
