You should really consider converting to LMTs. There are too many benefits and I cannot think of a single reason not to do the conversion.
So I'd create a new tablespace and make this tablespace LMT. Then, I'd move the table in to this new tablespace with the ALTER TABLE MOVE command. There are a few restrictions on this operation (i.e. you cannot move a table that contains a LONG or LONG RAW column). So if the restrictions stop you from using the ALTER TABLE MOVE command, use export/import.
