I just encountered the following problem:
Restored production IODF from DSS dump and got two-extents file. For obvious reason I didn't want more than 1 extent. <g> The primary reason was near-full, fragmented volume, which shouldn't have place, however it had place.

Q: how can I prevent such multi-extent allocation ?
I'd like to have something a'la CONTIG: single extent file or failure.

Since no one has come up with an answer, it seems the answer to your question is "No". This is an example of DSS not "playing nice" with other IBM restrictions. As such, is it worth opening a PMR? I'd push for *at least* a DOC APAR to show how to properly restore a backed-up IODF.

(If FDR can do it, that might be greater incentive for IBM to fix DSS to do it, right.)
