When creating a table, there is a MAXEXTENTS number assigned to it. If not explicity defined then it takes on the value of the Tablspace MAXEXTENTS (ME)
DBAs try to keep tables from hitting the ME number when they grow over time. Exporting the table(s) and saying YES to the question 'Compress extents' is the way to squash everything back down to 1 extent, You then need to drop all the table(s) in the DB and re-import the DMP file.
Good luck
