There is not.  The response timeout in this case is hardcoded to 10 seconds
and the digit timeout is hardcoded to 5 seconds.  You could change it to
something else if something in the dialplan was already executing (such as
obtaining a new extension with WaitExten), but otherwise, you are stuck with
the defaults.
