Kamel,

Just because an RBS can extend doesn't mean it will.
>From the description you've given I suspect that the
transactions were committing fast enough that when it came time to wrap around from one exent to the next, the next extent didn't have any active transactions so it was reused without having to extend. By setting minextents to 100, you forced the RBS not to wrap around and reuse extent 1 until it had filled up all 100 extents. Checking WRAPS in V$ROLLSTAT will show the number of times the RBS has wrapped.

BTW, the studies done back on Oracle7, or perhaps even earlier, found a minextents of 20 to be the best setting on average.  

HTH,
