It's been awhile since I've tested any of this, but I believe Oracle just ignores whatever you specify for NEXT. I do recall for sure the behavior with INITIAL. You can specify INITIAL, but the autoallocate algorithm then takes over to give you multiple extents that add up to whatever size you requested for your initial extent. So with autoallocate, you can use INITIAL to request a certain amount of space, but you may get it in multiple extents.
