Sure it is possible, even in 7.3.4. Check the "ALTER TABLE table_name ALLOCATE EXTENT" command. This works for allocating additional extents when the table is already created.

If you wan't the *initial* extent of the table to be in a particular datafile, you must fool the database by creating a couple of dummy tables that are large enough to fill up available space in all other datafiles prior the creation of your table. And off course, you must not forget to drop those dummy tables afterwards.
