Check the max_extents for the table:
select extents, max_extents
from dba_segments
where owner = 'table_owner_name' and segment_name = 'table_name'
and segment_type = 'TABLE' ;

You will have to change the max_extents on the table with the SQL command alter table, e.g.
alter table owner.name storage (maxextents new_value) ;


But before you do so, you may want to ask yourself - is there a reason that the current "maxextents" value was chosen? Should some rows from the table be archived deleted? Of course, since this is a development environment perhaps it's not as important to know the answers to those questions.
