Morphology

reallot = allot (transparent) = re + allot

This is a standard and readily understandable use of 're-' meaning 'again' added to 'allot'.

Etymology

Reallot starts with re- meaning 'again' and the root allot, which comes from the idea of a lot or 'share'. So, to reallot is to give out or assign those shares again, for example when an earlier distribution changes.
