Just a thought:

Rollback segments are also used for "read consistancy" which is guaranteed for the life of the open cursor. This means that intermittent commits will not release the rollback segment space.

One suggestion would be to "clone" the driving table. Drive off one then update the other. The restart will probably invlove rebuilding the clone with (NON Y) a subset of the orignal.
