Oracle 8.1.17 extent management

In have a customer still runing 8.1.7. They were having performance issues which appeared to be due to frgmentation. An export and import solved the performance issue.  

They are due to move to Orcale 10 soon, but in the mean time what can they do to minimise fragmentation on 8.1.7.  

Move to locally managed tablespaces? Change the next extent values(which appear to be very small) ?
