Andrew,
pga_aggregate_target is just that, a target.  There are a couple of
different ways space pressure on the pga is handled depending on your
version of Oracle, whether or not you are using AMM or ASMM, whether or not
you're using shared or dedicated server, whether or not the wind is blowing
from the Southwest, and probably (as is usually the case with Oracle) a
couple of other parameters as well.

Anyway, you can exceed the target.  Try looking at v$pgastat and see if you
have an overallocation count.  A quick search of Google has a bunch of
articles, but you might want to try MOS or Tahiti for a more definitive
answer.
