The purpose for mentioning the above was simply to indicate the dialplan
includes a fair amount of flexibility.

The options are there to allow that config as well. It's totally up
to the individual configuring the box and not artifically limited
by the manufacturer. However, I've not seen anything as yet that
would allow 'if "a" is down/busy, use a secondary "b" for call
completion'.
