As it turns out, after my query for a program for the above, it was
pointed out to me that a pair of such programs (given string->digits
and given digits->multiple possible strings) had JUST been posted to
comp.sources.misc. Look for article v12i098 in that newsgroup for the
programs "telenum" and "telewords". I had fun playing with them - and
they'll be really useful for those wanting to ask for customized
numbers.
