To take your example:
[global]
bssplit=512/10:1k/5:2k/5:4k/60:8k/2:16k/4:32k/4:64k/10
rw=randrw
rwmixread=70
direct=1
size=10g
ioengine=libaio
iodepth=256
write_bw_log
write_lat_log
numjobs=6
[sda]
filename=/dev/sda
would run the workload in question directly on the raw sda device.

For the above example, you have 6 processes doing random read/write
patterns with the 70/30 read/write mix and with the block sizes given.
