check the value of pctincrease for your table from user_tables/dba_tables. note that the default pctincrease for tablespace is 50. my guess pctincrease value fo your table is non-zero

alternatively, the size might be attributed to the fact that oracle rounds the number of blocks that make up the extent. i forget what that is .. my tired brain cells tell me that its something like 5 blocks or so .
