When you allocatie a dataset you specify space (blocks, tracks cylinders, MB or whatever) and a primary and secondary amount. The space and secondary amount is preserved in The DSCB1/8. The space was also used to allocate the primary extent(s). It is just the primary amount (as specified in the allocation command) that does not seem to be available anymore.
