How about, something like one of these...

exten => _*55NXXXXXX,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})
exten => _*55NXXXXXX,n,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:3})

or

exten => _*55NXXXXXX,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})
exten => _*55NXXXXXX,n,Goto(internal,${EXTEN:3},1)

or

exten => *55,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})
exten => *55,n,DISA(no-password,internal)

or

exten => *55,1,SetVar(TRUNK=${TRUNK2})
exten => *55,n,WaitExten(5)

or use your imagination :)
