You can use the following script to move these partitions to different tablespace.

You can generate the move all partitions script under this tablespace as follows.

select 'ALTER TABLE '||TABLE_OWNER ||'.'||table_name||' MOVE PARTITION '||partition_name||' TABLESPACE NEW_TABLESPACE_NAME UPDATE INDEXES;' from dba_tab_partitions where TABLESPACE_NAME = 'TBS_TEST';

You can generate the move all subpartitions script as follows.

SELECT 'ALTER TABLE ' ||TABLE_OWNER ||'.' ||TABLE_NAME ||' MOVE SUBPARTITION ' ||SUBPARTITION_NAME ||' TABLESPACE NEW_TABLESPACE_NAME parallel 64 UPDATE INDEXES;' FROM DBA_TAB_SUBPARTITIONS where TABLESPACE_NAME = 'TBS_TEST';

Once you moved these partitions to the different tablespace, you can drop the tablespace as follows.
