The command is:

ALTER SYSTEM DUMP DATAFILE <file_id> BLOCK MIN <min block> BLOCK MAX <max block>;

On a real OS, one can have rather satisfactory results by doing:

dd if=<data file> bs=8k count=<count>|od -x

If the block size is not 8k, the corresponding value needs to be substituted into the dd command.
