What you're asking for isn't really possible.  ITSPs providing 
origination simply pass in the dialed digits as received from the telco 
(or, repeat resale scenario until you get to the point at which TDM 
interconnection actually enters the picture).  Telco switches work in 
such a way as to read a certain amount of digits in certain scenarios 
and, when received, place the call.  Even if the caller does manage to 
cram more digits into an ambiguous dial plan scenario, the digits will 
be truncated by the far end to the appropriate specification.

In other words, what you're looking for isn't really meaningful if 
you're dealing with PSTN DIDs;  it's something that can only be 
accomplished in pure VoIP peering.  And given that scenario, what you're 
trying to accomplish would be easier to accomplish many other ways.
