Here is a script to show you the size a file could be and then generates the alter statement for all files that can be shrunk.

column file_name format a50 word_wrapped
column smallest format 999,990 heading "Smallest|Size|Poss." column currsize format 999,990 heading "Current|Size" column savings format 999,990 heading "Poss.|Savings"break on report
column value new_val blksize
select value from v$parameter where name = 'db_block_size'
