Which is exactly what the NEXT option of the AUTOEXTEND clause does...
To the OP: your tablespace will have a datafile, whcih will be created with a size of 262144000 bytes initially, and the file is allowed to extend itself, with 5242880 bytes each time it is needed (datafile full). There is no limit (other than OS) to what size the datafile can grow (I know - oversimplification; Oracle does have a limit on datafiles, but usually the OS kicks in long before that)
