3 DSCBs for 16 extents, so keeping extents down will be needed.

Where is the 3rd DSCB coming from? You need 1 DSCB for the first 3 extents and a second for the remaining 13.

 Just to satisfy my own curiosity, I do you plan to fit 650 datasets, each a
 minimum of 1,500 cylinders, on a volume with only 10,000 cylinders?  How
 will you even get more than 6?

 A 3390 will fit 53 DSCBs per track.  29 tracks will hold 1537 DSCBs,
 slightly more than twice what you expect.

 ISPF 3.4 with the "V" option will tell you how full the VTOC is.
