sure. You'd use a Dial() command like this for the provider in Holland:
 Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@HollandProvider)
and something like this for the provider in the US:
 Dial(SIP/0011${EXTEN:2}@USProvider)

so to route any extension starting with 0031 through the US provider:
 exten => _0031.,1,Dial(SIP/0011${EXTEN:2}@USProvider)
for example. You didn't mention how you want asterisk to know/decide which
of the two providers a particular extension should be routed to. You'll
likely need to write a different exten => line than the sample I gave.
