Read on for the answer, but first, please trim your posts, you don't
need to include 200 lines of quoted text, just the relevant portions.

Now, you don't seem to understand how extensions work. Look on the wiki
for some additional examples, but for now, once you choose an extension
(s, i, or 243284 or _XXXX) then you will move through the priorities
within that extension until the caller dials a new extension, or you hit
a goto of some sort.
Also, priority must be consecutive order starting at 1.
 exten => _9212XXXXXXX,1,SetCIDNum(212-433-3344)
 exten => _9212XXXXXXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@<router IP>,15,tr)
 exten => _91XXXXXXXXXX,1,SetCIDNum(212-433-3344)
 exten => _91XXXXXXXXXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@<router IP>,15,tr))

That should work much better for you.
