Not allowing secondary allocation for linklisted libraries is definitely a good practice. It can help to avoid so many headaches, such as the potential one described by the OP. With DASD "cheap" today, it's good practice to just over-allocate linklisted libraries so maintenance can be applied or new modules introduced without causing new extents to be taken. This is especially true for those shops where IPLs are few and far between. Otherwise you're looking at creating new linklist sets and activating them and facing the issue of different tasks using different linklist sets which can possibly be 'fixed' with the potentially dangerous SETPROG LNKLST,UPDATE,JOB=xxxx command.
The only time you might be able to get away with a linklisted library going into extents, is to compress it and hope it goes back to the original number of extents which existed when the linklist set was activated.
