Makes sense! The only reason that I was confused was why 3 of my PV's
say "yes (but full)" and the other three not. How does one explain

1.63x3=4.89 still less than 8.6.
Has the VG spanned across the first 3 PVs fully and then utilized the
remaining 3 partially?
Pretty much. See man (8) lvm, --alloc option

Food based analogies are always good! :)

The vgs output is exactly as you say:
[root@eustorage ~]# vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
