Why not make a Macro (or GoSub) to handle this block of code, and then your
outbound dial lines are just one line calling the Macro?  Saves a lot of
repeating blocks of code. Something like this (not tested):

[macro-OutboundDial]
; ${ARG1} = CHANNEL
; ${ARG2} = EXTERNAL_CALLERID
exten => s,1,Set(Outgoing=${CUT(${ARG1},/,2)})
exten => s,n,Set(Outgoing=${CUT(Outgoing,-,1)})
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${Outgoing}" = "201"]?outbound2:outbound1)
exten => s,n(outbound1),Set(CALLERID(all)=${ARG2})
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/${MACRO_EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)
exten => s,n,Goto(h,1)
exten => s,n(outbound2),Set(CALLERID(all)=${ARG2})
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/${MACRO_EXTEN}@vitel-outbound2)
exten => s,n,Goto(h,1)

[outbound-context]

exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Macro(OutboundDial,${CHANNEL},${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Macro(OutboundDial,${CHANNEL},${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten => _011.,1,Macro(OutboundDial,${CHANNEL},${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
exten => _911,1,Macro(OutboundDial,${CHANNEL},${EXTERNAL_CALLERID})
