In addition to what the other replies say, I'd note that it
is usually a good idea to not use the initial digit of the
extensions as one of the single-digit options in the menu.

By keeping them separate, you make *'s job of detecting end
of entry significantly easier:  timeouts only have to apply
to the multi-digit choices and the single digit choices can
jump immediately on key detection.
