The functionality that "listen for" exposes is pretty dead-simple -- it is, as you've observed, a list of fixed phrases. (For a sufficiently small set of numbers, you could generate all the combinations, but that's hardly practical in this case.) The underlying C API *can* do something like you're describing: it lets you create a "language model", which is roughly equivalent in expressive power to a basic regular expression, so you could set up a model which is one of the words "one" through "nine", repeated any number of times. However, that's only available to C clients, and there are no plans to expose it in the scripting interface.
The best you can do is to effectively do the model logic yourself -- in your case, sit in a loop recognizing single digits until you decide you're done. However, I expect you'd have to speak very slowly, since each digit is being recognized separately. (And I, too, ran into trouble trying to call "listen for" twice.)
