Yes, 2 ways:

1. Use a macro:

[macro-whatever]
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/${ARG1},30,Ttm)
exten => s,2,Hangup
exten => s,102, Voicemail(b${ARG1})
exten => s,103,Hangup

2. Use pattern matching
exten => _20[0-4]00,1,Macro(whatever,${EXTEN})

Is that simpler?
By the way, I took the liberty of adding b for busy to the macro. But you
may want to consider using the standard extension macro provided with
Asterisk instead. It allows people to press * to check their voicemail, and
a few other handy features. Why reinvent the wheel?
