The export file contains "connect {owner_name}" in the stream. This is how the owner is managed. I believe that this becomes "ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA= "{owner_name}" in the ugly file. I don't know what Steven's ugly_DLL script does with this command.

For just the tables, you can generate a file containing the index creation SQL, the table creation SQL is provided as remarks. It would work something like this:

imp scott/tiger full=y rows=n indexfile={table create cmds} file={dump file} # the following grep "removes" the index creation commands. # these can be run later
grep "^REM " {table create cmds} > {table create cmds only} # you can now edit the init and next sizes for the tables (and indexes). vi {table create cmds only}
# execute the table create comands in the smaller schema.
