Well, yes, if the initial allocation was far too big, which is really
a case similar to the one with manually added extents. To be entirely
truthful, I consider "deallocate extents" command to be of very limited
use. I studied it for my OCP, but have never had a chance to use it. Alter
table move or DBMS_REDEFINITION are much more useful and DBMS_REDEFINE can
even help you do the simple operations on the columns.
