The simplest way is to just use pattern matching and multiple Dial
statements in consecutive order, like so:

exten => _20XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},30)
exten => _20XX,n,Dial(SIP/2000,30)

exten => _21XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},30)
exten => _21XX,n,Dial(SIP/2100,30)

exten => _22XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},30)
exten => _22XX,n,Dial(SIP/2200,30)

exten => _23XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},30)
exten => _23XX,n,Dial(SIP/2300,30)

This doesn't take things like DIALSTATUS into account, however it
accomplishes the same goal of having a fallback number, if that's what you
want.  If you want to add a check for DIALSTATUS, just do it for each
pattern.
