Yes I believe that on timeout the next priority executed is the current
priority plus 101.  Theoretically
what you are suggesting would work, but if you truly want the call to
"hunt" between those extensions why 
not actually use an ACD (Also known as a Hunt Group).  Asterisk has
excelent ACD support and should be able to 
Provide your application with much more functionality.  

You can set it up via the agents.conf and queues.conf.  Here are a few
relavent links:
