I think setting the digit timeout would help.
DigitTimeout(seconds)  : Set maximum timeout between digits 

exten => s,1,Wait,1                     ; Wait a second, just for fun
exten => s,2,Answer                     ; Answer the line
exten => s,3,SetMusicOnHold,default
exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,5         ; Set Response Timeout
exten => s,5,DigitTimeout,1         ; Set Digit Timeout to 1 sec

Adjust to taste
