Unfortunately, the answer is no. Not directly at least. You can use the create table as select .. statement to create a new table with the correct initial extent size, then drop the original table and rename the new table. Be sure to note indexes, constraints, triggers, dependicies etc. before doing this.
Or, you could export the table with compress=Y, drop the table,then import the table. This will attempt to create the table with all data in one extent, so be sure you have an extent that is big enough. Depending on the verion of Oracle you are running, there may be other ways to achieve this also.

HTH,
