I'm unsure what you mean. Extents is only an optimization strategy for allocating contiguous blocks. If there are no contiguous blocks, ext4 falls back to allocating singular blocks, but with normal usage patterns you should never get "tons of blocks available" with none of them contiguous. At least, that's how I understand it. Are you getting allocation failures with still plenty of space available?
