Unless import can do something like that (don't know enough about it to say one way or the other), spool your data to a file with SQL*Plus (and turn off formatting like column headings, pagesize, etc.) and also use a delimiter character. Then, load the data into a new table with SQL*Loader.  Or, if you're on the same database, can't you just do an insert/select?:

insert into new_table(<columns>)
select <columns>
from old_table
