I did something similar using multiple records in a row.
Something like

exten => 931,1,Answer()
exten => 931,2,Wait(2)
exten => 931,3,Set(E=1000)
exten => 931,4,Playback(beep)
exten => 931,5,Set(E=$[${E} + 1])
exten => 931,6,Record(/tmp/asterisk-recording-${E:1})
exten => 931,7,Playback(/tmp/asterisk-recording-${E:1})
exten => 931,8,Wait(2)
exten => 931,9,Goto(4)

This will loop: beep, record until "#" pressed, replay, wait, beep...
The files will be written with ascending numbers starting "001". Move
them to another place before doing the next recording session.
