You can, you just did it the wrong way.  ;-)

> Is it possible to have 1 SetCIDNum line for all outgoing calls?

Yup.  Here's one way:

[outgoing-init]
exten => _X.,1,SetCIDNum(2124333344)
exten => _X.,2,Goto(outgoing-doit,${EXTEN},1)

[outgoing-doit]
exten => _9212XXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@<some router>,15,tr)
exten => _91XXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@<another router>,15,tr)

[outgoing]
include => outgoing-init

Then place your calls in the "outgoing" context.
