The 505 extents for an 8K block size is not the
maximum total extents . It's the maximum performance
wise, in order to read only one block to know where
all extents are.

It is obtain by (db_block_size/16 -7)
So ((8192/16) -7) =505.

This is how many extents location can be store in 1
block in the segment header.

My sources are the document following the document
"How to stop defragmenting and start living" and Steve
Adams web site.
