A table can span datafiles, but a single extent cannot. To great a table
that requires 28GB, create a tablespace with enough 2GB datafiles for the
data, free space, etc. Create the table with an initial extent that will
fit into 2GB, and a next extent the will use the next 2GB. You just end up
with a table that has multiple extents.
