Sounds like you might benefit from the If/EndIf applications: https://gerrit.asterisk.org/c/asterisk/+/16121
You can specify a condition once, but execute multiple dialplan applications. AEL not needed.
No need to branch, especially Gosub which has a huge overhead. This is probably the cleanest way to do it in dialplan, as you don't end up with branching everywhere just to have a conditional execute 2 lines.

exten => 123,1,If($["FOO"="BAR"])
 same => n,BackGround(you-owe)
 same => n,SayNumber(1000000)
 same => n,EndIf()
 same => n,Playback(goodbye)
 same => n,Hangup()
