Will give a decent estimate; especially if both are NOT NULL columns.

As with many things Oracle, it depends.
It depends upon type of tablespace (dictionary or locally managed).
With LMT %FREE can have a noticable impact.
This is why one should ALWAYS have a test/development system so you can actually verify what happens rather than depend upon answers from unknown folks who may not always know YOUR details.
