5 digit phone extension numbers

I've encountered a problem with constituent records, where the extension for their phone number is more characters than the field currently allows.  A Connecticut High School uses 5 digits for their teachers' extensions; which Tessitura cannot accommodate.  Has anyone else run into this?  Does Tessitura Next Generation allow for that?

    We have a couple of local companies and our university with 5 digit extensions.  In TR_COUNTRY system table, for Canada under the Phone Mask column we adjusted this to (@@@) @@@-@@@@ @@@@@ and under the Phone Edit String column, the end of the string we added one more # sign, so x#####.  This did the trick as all 5 digit extensions are saved in records.
