Hang on a tick: you don't want to add another file, but it's OK to add another tablespace(s) - with its(their) own file(s)?
I strongly suggest you move away from that train of thought: adding a datafile to a tablespace is the accepted and correct way to increase the capacity of a tablespace. Use it: it's there, it's standard, it won't change.
Besides if your concern is growing size, then you most definitely need to think in terms of adding files, rather than tablespaces: even the dedicated tablespaces will eventually need more files.
Unless of course you want to package averything into a self-contained set and then later on after install, as things grow, let dbas add files as needed? In that case, yes: package the large growth tables into their own tablespaces, the dbas will love your package as that is the way they like to isolate and contain large growth tables!
