It makes sense to have only on rollback segment, though even that won't be used if you are doing direct path loads. The direct path option of SQL*Loader bypasses the Oracle buffer cache to write data directly to disk - rollback is accomplished by not moving the highwater mark for the table being loaded until after the load is complete (or after the specified number of rows is loaded).
