how to release blocks of table?

I need to release blocks belonging to the initial extent of a table. CTAS is not an option.
Optionally how can I decrease the value of initial extent so I can export and import into smaller size.

I have a 7GB database that I need to run a script that was given by supplier. This script rebuild all the indexes and I want to make sure that none are forgotten (~ 700).
I have enough space for one but not for two. So I thought to import with rows=no twice, run the scripts against one schema and use toad to compare the schemas.
The problem is initial extents in the export file that fill all the new DB. If I can decrease the initial extents then I will export and import the whole schema and have enough space.
