This is indeed possible.  You need to break down the problem so you can see 
what you have to do in the dialplan.

Basically you want to Dial() his extension for 10 seconds and failing that 
Dial() something else (and failing that Dial() something else, and so on and 
so forth, eventually going to VoiceMail())

Everything you want (including setting timeouts for how long to ring) is in 
the Dial() application, and Asterisk has pretty good documentation on the 
Dial command, both on the wiki and also in the "show application dial" 
command output in the Asterisk CLI.

If you are still having trouble with this after trying out a few things, post 
here again, showing us specifically what you've tried and we'll help some 
more.
