I think that even one session can use parallel DML and in this case increase for INITRANS and multiple freelists should help.

Initrans defines the inital number of 43 byte interested transaction list (ITL)
entries originally allocated in the data block. Maxtrans defines the maximum
number of ITLs a block can have.

ITLs are where each session doing DML on a block places its row locks. If one session at a time is doing DML, multiple ITLs won't speed things up. Once an ITL is created, its space cannot be reused for row data. Having initrans/maxtrans higher than needed for concurrency wastes block space.
