One possibility:

[getnumber]
exten => s,1,Background(please-enter-num-or-star)
exten => s,n,Waitexten(30)

exten => *,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _X*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XXX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XXXX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XXXXX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XXXXXX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XXXXXXX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XXXXXXXX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)
exten => _XXXXXXXXX*,1,Goto(register,s,1)

exten => _XXXXXXXXXX,1,Do whatever
exten => _XXXXXXXXXX,n,You want to do with
exten => _XXXXXXXXXX,n,A 10-digit customer number

[register]
exten => s,1,Start registration process


Hope that helps
